BENEFITS
• Twin-lift ship-to-shore hydraulic spreaders are the most popular products in the
Bromma product line, due to their higher productivity and versatility
• With the STS45 separating twin-lift spreader, a larger percentage of above-deck

containers can be moved in twin-lift mode.
• The separating STS45 has excellent operational flexibility. It can move two 20' con-
tainers from 0 mm to 1600 mm apart under full load.
• The STS45LW has the same basic functionality as the Bromm STS45, but with 1,6
tonnes less weight.
Bromma twin-lift hydraulic spreaders are feature-rich. Bromma advanced performance

technology, such as SCS,3 is standard on these spreaders. Bromma’s optional MPS memory
positioning system, available on the STS45, makes the crane operator’s task easier, and
increases productivity. The Bromma Twin-Twenty Detection System adds safety and the
Twin-Lift Hydraulic Spreaders
HIS Height Indication System is ideal for use on high-speed cranes.
On the STS45 and STS45LW, separating twin movement can be done at any time in the
crane cycle, which means there is no stopping time to change the container spacing. This
results in higher flexibility in container ship loading and unloading. Bromma’s 30-person
design engineering team ensures high structural integrity through strategic engineering,
such as finite element modeling, which analyzes stress points on the spreader and projects
the likely effect of accumulated stress over time. Bromma design studies, including
buckling, vibration, and stress-related stiffening analyses, enable Bromma Research and
Development to evaluate the long-time impact of design changes, and develop optimum
design solutions.
Bromma uses premium Swedish steel for spreader frame structures on the STR40/45,
STS45, and STS45LW, steel selected on the basis of its strength, weldability, and form
ability. ISO twistlocks allow for 6mm of float in all lateral directions, providing efficient
locating in the container corner castings. These spreaders can retract to the 19'6" position
in the event the spreader becomes jammed in the ship’s twenty foot cell. Positioning to
the 19'6" position can be controlled by the operator if appropriate controls are furnished
in the crane cab.
Bromma’s STS45 spreader is the industry standard for ship-to-shore container handling,
and a constant presence in the most demanding terminals in the world. Bromma under-
stands what ship-to-shore container handling requires, and the twin-lift hydraulic STS
spreaders from Bromma deliver it.

While Bromma Tandem™ is innovative, it is also when making spreader fleet planning decisions.
important to note that it is based on a simple technical
approach that features spreader design and technology
with proven reliability. The fixed-length Tandem™ was
first put into field tests in 2003. It is also not a
complicated design solution. The type of Tandem™

BENEFITS
• The Tandem™ T45 spreader offers terminals the highest level of productivity and
versatility, with the capacity and flexibility to handle all possible combinations of
20', 40', and 45' containers quickly and efficiently. It can also handle four 20' containers
simultaneously and separate the 20' containers longitudinally between 0 and 1,6 meters.
• The Tandem™ 40/45 spreader is able to twin-lift two 20', 40', or 45' containers without
the need, as in the Tandem™ fixed-length version, for change-out.
• This is a proven spreader design field-tested in high-throughput European and Asian

terminals.
• Customers with a high number of empty 40' containers may want to give special
consideration to the productivity advantages of the Tandem™.
• The Tandem™ headblock is necessary for the efficient handling of the Tandem™
spreader line.
The Separating T45 spreader offers the highest level of productivity and versatility, but
requires a higher-capacity container crane. Tandem™ T45 spreader weight is an estimated
31 tonnes. To fully utilize the lift capacity of the spreader requires a high crane capacity,
but most customers will rate 20 foot containers to a maximum of 20-25 tonne, thereby
resulting in a required crane capacity of 115-135 tonne in the ropes.
The Tandem™ 40/45 spreader is based on proven Bromma spreader design, as it uses the
SSX40/45 spreader as its standard base. A terminal planning to utilize the full 70 tonne
Tandem™ Productivity
capacity under the spreader will need crane capacity of approximately 100 tonne in the
ropes. As such, the Tandem™ 40/45 can be used without restriction on many last-genera-
tion container cranes already in service today. Customers who handle very few 45' contain-
ers may wish to consider the 40' version of the Tandem™ 40/45. This will save approxi-
mately 2 tonne in spreader weight.
Bromma Tandem™ spreaders are feature-rich. The adjustable pusher with memory function
keeps a pre-set space between the spreaders, reducing the swinging of the two spreaders
and simplifying the entering of ship cell guides. Long side flippers mounted on an inclined
base, and rounded end beams, avoid jamming in cell guides. The four wagons can be moved
individually to allow skewing and gravity point adjustment, should this be needed. A memory
system allows a pre-set positioning distance between the spreaders. Chain suspension allows
Tandem™ to handle containers of different height. Eight powerful flippers with large scoops
in optimal configuration allow Tandem™ to handle different combinations efficiently.
The Bromma Tandem™ Headblock with adjustable pulley wheel distance keeps the gravity
point of the two containers between the pulley wheels center in Tandem™ mode. When
operating with a standard spreader, the pulley wheels will retract to normal headblock
width. Pulley wheels move from standard (750-1000 mm) up to 2,6 metres. Bromma can
also provide a fully automatic electrical plug/socket interface and will offer to modify the
existing crane electrical interface and communication system to enable the handling of
Tandem™ spreaders.

BENEFITS
• The Tandem™ Fix 40 is an ideal choice for customers interested in gaining the added
productivity of twin-40 container handling, but who are somewhat restricted in their
choices due to cranes with limited lifting capacity.
• A container terminal with a high percentage of 40 foot containers will gain an immediate
boost to its lift cycle productivity, since the Tandem™ Fix 40 spreader can lift two
40' containers at a time, not one.
• The Tandem™ Quattro offers the same capacity and nearly the same flexibility as the
Tandem™ T45, including the ability to handle four 20 foot containers at a time – two
20 foot containers under each spreader – but it does so with a lower spreader weight.
• The Tandem™ Quattro spreader also offers another advantage: the capability to do
side shift on individual spreaders, which is useful when the chassis or container on
the ground is not fully lined up in the longitudinal direction.
The Tandem™ Fix 40 is, from a design standpoint, the simplest Tandem™ model available
today. It uses Bromma spreader design and technology that has been proven to be reliable
over many years and many millions of lift cycles. Customers should keep in mind that the
operating limitation of the Tandem™ Fix 40 is that it is for 40' containers only. This is
why the Tandem™ Fix 40 is best-suited for terminals where ships tend to be stacked with
a high percentage of 40’ containers, or when the crane has a limited lift capacity.
The Tandem™ Quattro is a high-productivity, lower weight Tandem™ solution. The limitation
on Tandem™ Quattro is that it is not designed to lift a single 20' container. The Tandem™
Quattro is especially well-suited for container terminals that have a high percentage of 40'

and 45' containers, and a low percentage of 20' containers that are located in such a way
that they need to be loaded/unloaded in single lift mode.

BENEFITS
• Proven design: the Bromma SSX40E and SSX45E structure is based on the reliable
hydraulic versions of this spreader
• Designed for lower or higher throughput environments and for service on high-speed cranes
• Reduced routine maintenance due to all-electric design
• Reduced energy consumption due to elimination of the hydraulic power-pack
Bromma single-lift SSX40/45E spreaders offer strength, reliability, and durability, plus
the advantage of lower lifecycle costs. On these all-electric spreaders, many service points
have been taken away. There’s no hydraulic powerpack and no hoses. There are no fluids,
or oil filter, to replace. This elimination of hydraulics means reduced service time and
reduced service materials cost (for oil, hoses, and filters). It will also eliminate many of
the “nuisance” downtime events that occur due to spreader hydraulics (bad hose connections,
etc.). Making hydraulics history reduces both scheduled and unscheduled spreader downtime.
Strategic Engineering For A Longer Life
In the design of these spreaders, Bromma achieves superior structural strength through
strategic engineering tools, such as finite element modeling, which analyzes stress points
on the spreader and projects the likely effect of accumulated stress over time. The benefits
Single-Lift All-Electric
of a more robust design, a higher grade of materials, and a more rugged construction, are
often not visible until a spreader has been in service for several years. Yet, the “invisible”
advantages of exceptional design and construction are obvious in the traditionally longer
lifetime of Bromma spreaders.
These spreaders have the ability to retract to the 19'6" position in the event the spreader
becomes jammed in the ship’s twenty foot cell. Positioning to the 19'6" position can be
controlled by the operator if appropriate controls are furnished in the crane cab. These
spreaders fulfill the most demanding design criteria among DIN, FEM and British
Standard. Bromma advanced performance technology, such as SCS3, the TTDS Twin-
Twenty Detection System (an excellent safety feature), and the HIS Height Indication
System are installed or available for installation on all Bromma spreaders.

BENEFITS
• Proven design: the Bromma STR40E/45E and STS45E are based on Bromma
spreaders in service throughout the world
• Lower energy consumption
• Reduced spreader maintenance requirements, due to the elimination of hydraulics
• Simpler – less settings and fewer sensors
• Twin-lift ship-to-shore spreaders are the most popular products in the Bromma product
line, due to their higher productivity and versatility
• With the STS45E separating twin-lift spreader, a larger percentage of above-deck

containers can be transported in twin-lift mode.
Higher productivity translates into higher potential revenue. The STS45E separating twin-lift has
exceptional performance characteristics. At a busy container terminal, even a one box per hour
improvement in container handling (26,0 versus 25,0) can generate a further $50,000 USD in
terminal profit over a spreader lifetime.
Bromma’s optional MPS memory positioning system makes the crane operator’s task easier, and
increases productivity. The Twin-Twenty Detection System adds safety and the HIS Height
Indication System is ideal for use on high-speed cranes. Bromma all-electric twin-lift spreaders
also have maintenance and energy consumption advantages. At only 11,7 tonnes, the STS45E will
save energy compared to competing brands. For example, a 1,5 tonne weight savings means some
$40,000 USD in energy savings over its lifetime. The elimination of the idling hydraulic pump on
these all-electric spreaders also adds to the energy savings. The idling action of a hydraulic pump
results in energy consumption of approximately 3 kWh. Eliminating this idling hydraulic motor
Twin-Lift All-Electrric
thus should mean an approximate $13,500 USD in lifetime energy savings.

All-Electric
Bromma has been able to make the STS45E lighter through more intelligent design – an improvement
in technique. Mechanical functions that perform the separating twin motion have been replaced by a
new electrical concept, which allows weight reduction. The separating twin motion doesn’t require
any mechanical connection – hooks or lashes – which lowers weight. This spreader features the best of
the old … and the new. The new on the STS45E includes a completely re-designed all electric flipper, an
all-electric synchronized separating system, and a faster up/down motion for twinlift boxes. Yet, much
is the same, including Bromma’s proven twistlock system and Bromma’s extremely durable spreader
construction.
The control and communications capabilities of Bromma all-electric twins are unsurpassed.
Bromma SCS3 – with its user-friendly touchscreen display and advanced diagnostics and prognostics
functionality, is standard on these spreaders. Easy to use, simple to understand, and intelligently
advanced, SCS3 dramatically reduces wired terminal points and I/O relays for greater simplicity,
while giving terminals advanced functionality, such as on-line sensor adjustments, and communi-
cations capability, such as transmission of spreader events, logs, alarms, and MMBF statistics to
terminal headquarters for analysis.
Operational flexibility is a hallmark of these spreaders. Separating twin movement can be done at
any time in the crane cycle, which means there is no stopping time to change the container spacing.
This results in superior container ship loading and unloading flexibility. Plus, these spreaders can
retract to the 19'6" position in the event the spreader becomes jammed in the ship’s twenty foot
cell. Positioning to the 19'6" position can be controlled by the operator if appropriate controls are
furnished in the crane cab.
Finally, Bromma is uncompromising in its selection of materials and components, using premium
Swedish steel for all spreader frame structures, steel selected on the basis of its strength, weldability
and formability.

SHIP-TO-SHORE SPREADERS

Reduce Downtime A Higher Level Of Productivity

Spreader weight directly impacts crane energy

• Experience means low downtime: at some terminals Bromma spreader availability

• With the STS45 separating twin-lift spreader, a larger percentage of above-deck

Bromma twin-lift hydraulic spreaders are feature-rich. Bromma advanced performance

HIS Height Indication System is ideal for use on high-speed cranes.

• This is a proven spreader design field-tested in high-throughput European and Asian

• Reduced routine maintenance due to all-electric design

• Reduced energy consumption due to elimination of the hydraulic power-pack

Strategic Engineering For A Longer Life

• Lower energy consumption

• Reduced spreader maintenance requirements, due to the elimination of hydraulics

• Simpler – less settings and fewer sensors

• With the STS45E separating twin-lift spreader, a larger percentage of above-deck

thus should mean an approximate $13,500 USD in lifetime energy savings.
