Container spreader C-lift

H-shapedfixedsemi-automatic

The Timars C-Lift is a semi-automatic fixed frame container spreader for handling ISO certified containers. The C-lift can be operated by most types of hook operated cranes, such as quay crane, mobile crane, Overhead cranes and ship mounted cranes. Timars C-Lift has semi-automatic operation, however the spreader can also be operated manually using the pre-installed handles. Operation of the spreader is based on the ’gravity and lift’ principle, locking and unlocking of the twistlocks is made by the lowering and lifting of the spreader by the crane operator. The spreader is available to suit 20ft, 30ft & 40ft ISO containers. C-lift spreaders are available from 32t up to 40t lifting capacities. The spreader offers unique advantages for the operator, such as: • Safety interlocking system • Safety Torque Limitation (STB-system) • Corner guide arm system for safe and fast approach to the container • Extremely low tare weight (e.g. 1200 kg for a 20ft incl. wiresling) • Visual indicator for twistlock position • Attachments for over height handling of open container and flat racks • Flexible construction for uneven conditions The four twistlocks work in conjunction with the safety interlocking system. If one or more of the twistlocks are blocked, caused by a pressure put on the twistlocks from beneath (for example the spreader twistlocks are resting on the container roof), then the twistlocks are prevented from locking (STB-system). In this instance the twistlocks will remain in the opened position and the visual indicator will highlight the spreader unlock condition to the crane operator.
