The SCS-Modular control system delivers advanced monitoring and
diagnostic information. It also simplifies the spreader as it elimi-
nates or minimizes junction boxes, terminal strips, relays and DIN
rails. The CANopen field bus decreases cabling still more.

Box beam design / High strength steel

The well proven Bromma Box beam design ensures excellent stability
and strength combined with easy accessibility. All Bromma spreaders
are built of premium high quality steel, selected for its strength, weld-
ability, and formability.

Glide plate system

The contact surfaces between the main frame and the telescoping beams
consists of grease lubricated low friction glide plates. This design has
proven its reliability by being used on Brommas ship to shore spreaders for
several years. Among the Bromma yard spreaders only YTS45E is equipped
with rollers instead of glide plates.

All-electric drive for twistlocks

This service – and power-saving design is both simple and reliable. An
electric motor drives the twistlock movement via a gearbox and rods
connected to each twistlock pin. Only on electric spreaders.

Electrical Cabinet
A common downtime reason is connection failures caused by repetitive
impact between the spreader and the containers. The electrical cabinets
are mounted with specially designed shock absorbers, identical to the
ship to shore spreaders. This together with the enclosure IP66 ensures
many untroubled working hours.

Floating ISO Twistlocks

A well proven construction which allows for 6 mm
of float in all lateral directions, providing efficient
locating into container corner castings. The revised
twistlock head shape improves the ability to handle
non aligned 20’ containers.

Please note that the picture shows an YTS45E, certain items will look different for other models.
