The order which will be commissioned in 2018 includes options for another 12 + 12 spreaders for delivery in 2019 and 2020.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are extremely happy to receive this order from Port of Felixstowe. It emphasises our strong position as a reliable supplier and business partner,\u201d said Vikram Raman, VP Bromma EMEA.<\/p>\n
Felixstowe\u2019s rigorous spreader specification which includes low height and weight and side shift means the operating parameters of the RTG\u2019s will be enhanced and maintained.<\/p>\n
The spreaders will be fitted with serial communication to the crane, load sensing technology, twin-twenty detection and height indication sensors. The spreaders are specified to be able to work on cranes adapted for automation in the future.<\/p>\n
Spreader replacement<\/strong><\/p>\n Bromma said that the ship-to-shore crane spreader is considered to be the most abused piece of equipment in a container terminal.<\/p>\n Therefore, a good spreader maintenance programme is essential in order to get maximum productivity out of the crane.<\/p>\n The cost for maintenance and repair will increase the older the spreader gets with the typical life length of a ship-to-shore spreader in a high throughput terminal expected to be 10 to 15 years.<\/p>\n The corresponding life length of a quay crane is probably in the range of 20 to 25 years. So, there is a financially sound argument to replace the spreader in a crane after half the crane\u2019s expected life span.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bromma has received an order for 13 YSX40E all electric spreaders from the Port of Felixstowe which will replace ageing equipment and help clean up operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":11328,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[62,63],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-11327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-equipment","category-products-services"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11327"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11327\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11329,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11327\/revisions\/11329"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11327"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=11327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
