Low Crane Modules

All lifting arms on the Low Crane Modules are constructed from continuously welded high tensile steel (Grade 690 MPa). The low base is fabricated from medium tensile steel (Grade 350 MPa). The pins are mounted in replaceable lubricated glacier bearings.

The low crane modules can be stowed in a low folded position which is below the deck height. This means that:

The Sidelifter can also be loaded at a port or container terminal by a crane with the minimum of obstruction or damage.
Wear and tear on the cranes is minimal when in transport mode.
It is possible to open the container doors when the rear crane is stowed.

SBdanger

The crane modules are designed to lift containers and must not be used to drag containers along the ground.

The lifting chains must not be attached to the top of containers, or to non-standard length containers, as this imposes a sideways loading on the crane modules beyond their designed purpose.
