Container spreaders are specialized spreaders for container cranes and can be categorized by their structural characteristics into fixed, master-slave, parent-child, and telescopic types. Telescopic spreaders are further subdivided into rotary spreaders, twin-lift spreaders, and movable twin-lift spreaders.
A container spreader is a critical component in modern port and terminal operations, used for lifting and handling ISO containers with efficiency, safety, and precision. Attached to cranes such as ship-to-shore (STS) cranes, rail-mounted gantry (RMG) cranes, Quay Crane, or rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes, the spreader locks onto containers via twistlocks positioned at the container's corners. Container spreaders are classified based on their lifting capability, container compatibility, and mechanical or hydraulic design.
