Bromma has a dominant position in mobile
harbor crane spreaders for a simple reason:
in terminals where reliability is essential,
Bromma spreaders have an unmatched
reputation for reliability. Bromma
spreaders show up for work every day, in
the worlds most demanding container
terminals, and perform at a high level of
productivity. When reliability is crucial,
Bromma is the obvious choice. Brommas

 spreaders this has led to feature-rich design.
Bromma MHC spreaders offer tower and
gravity point adjustment, so that unevenly
loaded containers can be picked up
horizontally, which is especially important
when loading or unloading in the guides of
the ships cells. A sliding assembly allows
the gravity lifting point to be adjusted by 1.2
metres in both directions. When a container
is released, the tower automatically returns
to the centre position. Spreaders can also
be equipped with a leveling device which
prevents the crane operator from moving
the tower in the wrong direction when
adjusting the gravity point. Plus, a versatile
six side-flipper arm configuration provides
the crane operator with an improved ability
to locate the containers and the side-flipper
installation mounted on an inclined base
eliminates the interference with cell guides
when flippers are in the upper position.
Intelligent design has led to spreaders
that have a high lifting capacity [41 tonne
in single-lift; 50 tonne in twin-lift] while
maintaining a low nominal tare weight.
In addition, intelligent design leads to
extended durability. On a Bromma spreader, cores, with cost reduction in cable and the
main frame and flipper shock protection
systems are designed to ensure the long-
term structural integrity of the spreader.
To reduce shock on the main frame, a
rubber damper system is between the main
frame and the sliding telescopic beam.
The telescopic drive system is equipped
with a high grade shock absorption system
to protect the structure and facilitate
movement in the telescopic system. Finally, of container handling the tough physical
a rubber mounted landing buffer in the
flipper system reduces shock if the flippers
are hit in their upper position, extending the or snow, blowing sand, wind-borne salt
lifetime of the flipper arm. The telescopic
system, electrical equipment and cable
chain system are also well protected in the
main frame.
The Bromma advantage in spreader SCS3 is easy to use and
engineering and design is an important simple to understand,
reason why Bromma is the first name in due to an on-board touch-

events (through simplified wiring and
fewer connections) and shortens downtime
duration (through faster fault diagnosis)
when faults occur. The latest generation
of this technology, SCS3, is easy to use and
simple to understand, due to an on-board
touch-screen display. It also features the
industrys first generation of spreader
prognostics, an early warning system for
future spreader faults. Spreader prognostics
mean that terminals can now not only fix
problems faster, but prevent faults (and
downtime) from occurring. By delivering
specific fault information [monitoring
and recording each individual sensor and
switch, instead of monitoring a fault group],
the SCS3 touch-screen display provides
technicians with very specific intelligence.
Bromma Services believes this technology
can reduce spreader downtime by 20% or
more.
Bromma SCS3 is designed with the
necessary ruggedness to survive high-
impact container handling and an operating
protocol capable of smooth performance
even in dirty terminal electrical
environments. It easily interfaces with the
crane PLC and is highly efficient in terms of
crane cable reel as a result. The Bromma
advantage in spreader technology is an
important reason why Bromma spreaders
move containers today in 96 out of the
worlds top 100 container ports.
Building MHC Spreaders To Survive
Real-World Container Handling
Bromma understands the familiar terrain
environment in which terminals operate.
High heat and humidity, driving rain, sleet
such conditions would test any equipment,
but in addition to this, spreaders are beat up
constantly.

heart of minimizing spreader downtime,
and helping terminals achieve faster ship
turns and the fullest possible utilization of
terminal berth capacity.
In addition, Bromma has the resources to
invest for production success. Bromma
develops its own testing systems, and its
own production rigs, because Bromma
understands that few physical environments
are as challenging as container handling.
Bromma spreaders are built to thrive in
real-world container handling.
Designing With Details In Mind
Engineering excellence means careful
attention to the little things in spreader
design. The continuous improvement
engineering philosophy of the Bromma
Group has led to mobile harbour crane
spreaders that are engineered for higher
performance.

The telescopic motion is controlled by

prepared for installation of the Bromma

with the attachment already included in
the standard configuration. Finally, all
components are readily accessible and
simplified design means fewer mechanical

Environmental Leadership In MHC
Spreaders
In recent years environmental concerns
have taken on increasing importance at
terminals around the world. By achieving
an excellent weight-to-lifting capacity ratio,
Bromma spreaders reduce energy costs.
Lower spreader weight means lower annual
crane energy costs. As a Scandinavian
company, Bromma has a history of
environmental awareness, and Bromma
R&D has for many years made engineering
choices, in part, based on environmental
concerns. Bromma is committed to making
engineering choices that demonstrate
environmental leadership in spreaders.
A Greater Return On Your Mobile Harbour
Investment
Bromma sells more than 1,000 telescopic
crane spreaders each year more than all
of its competitors combined. The reason?
In the end, what sets Bromma apart from
competitors is a major difference in
lifetime value.
A spreader fleet made up of less reliable
spreaders is a more expensive spreader
fleet. Less reliable spreaders require more
service time and expense. They lead to
more capital being invested in spreader
spares capital that could be re-allocated
to terminal growth-producing initiatives.
Less reliable spreaders compromise the
competitive position of your terminal, and
put a ceiling on terminal revenue. They can
weaken a terminals relationships with its
customers, and slow growth. In the end,
operational performance determines which
terminals compete and win, and which
flatten or decline.

The Bromma MTS45 telescopic twinlift mobile har-

speed of twin-lift spreaders, with the added flexibility
to perform singlelift container handling as well.
Two 20' containers can be moved synchronised
towards one another and apart from one another from
0 to 1.6 meters under full load while suspended under
the twistlocks. The movements are symmetrical and
can be done at anytime in the crane cycle with is no

The MTS45 can single-lift one container in the 20',
30' (option), 40' or 45' position, or twin-lift two fully
loaded 32.5 tonne containers, or twin-lift two contai-
ners with quite different loads.
The MTS45 is capable of highly eccentric gravity
point adjustment of 2.1 meters. It can also be outfit-
ted with Brommas twin-twenty detection system,
(TTDS) which uses a cluster of sensors to detect a
gap between containers loaded in the ships cell.
The MTS45 features a pole design for the gra-
vity point adjustment, so that eccentrically loaded
containers can be adjusted into horizontal position.
This allows the spreader to be safely rotated without
tilting or overloading. The gravity point adjustment
is especially important when loading or unloading

unevenly loaded container, the tilting pole assembly
automatically returns to the vertical position.
The flexibility designed into the telescopic sys-

can be easily assembled, adjusted, removed and are
accessible for inspection and maintenance.
