  Container spreader is a very important processing tool. We can use it to improve our work efficiency. So what are the precautions for the use of container spreaders and crane operations in ports? Next, let’s take a look at the introduction to the spreader manufacturer:

  1. When the package spreader is telescopic and rotated, it is not allowed to collide with the container. When the spreader is unloaded, it should be in the unlocked position. In case of strong winds of level 6 or above, it is prohibited to lift containers.

  2. When lifting, the sling lock should be inserted into the container lock hole, and confirm that the sling lock is in the locked position before lifting; when unloading, the unlocking switch should be activated to confirm that the sling lock is in the unlocked position before lifting the sling.

  3. When walking, the spreader and container should be at a low position (do not affect the driver's sight), and the box should not be tilted. When driving on a ramp, the container should be located at the uphill end and turn is prohibited from heavy loads. Except for stacking containers, it is prohibited to operate at high levels.

  4. No-load driving is prohibited, and the spreader should be adjusted to a 20-foot position. It is strictly forbidden to park the container in the air for a long time after lifting it or the driver leaves the cab after lifting the container.

  5. After the work is completed, you should park in the designated position, adjust the spreader to 20 feet and lower it, and retract the big boom. Each operating lever is placed in a non-working position and parking braking is performed.
