Bromma all-electric spreaders are being specified for automated terminals due to their inherent reliability. Due to fewer service points, lighter weight, and the absence of any hydraulics, Bromma all-electric spreaders have higher availability, simplified maintenance requirements, and tough durability. In 2011 Bromma all-electric orders for automated terminals included contracts for:
- 10xYSX45E for an automated stacking crane project at TraPac in Los Angeles
- 20x YSX45E for an automated stacking crane project at the London Gateway in England
- 34xYSX45E for an automated stacking crane project in Khalifa Port, Abu Dhabi
- 40xYSX45E for an automated stacking crane project in Barcelona, Spain
- 8xYSX45E for an automated stacking crane project in Brisbane, Australia
- 8xYSX45E for an automated stacking crane project in Sydney, Australia
In all Bromma now has nearly 400 crane spreaders in service or on order to automated terminals.
More Container Terminals Specify Container Weight Verification
Bromma container weight verification technology is also being specified by more container terminals, with recent load sensing contracts for terminals in China, Brasil, London and Los Angeles. As misstated container weight is a significant problem in the industry, posing a safety risk for truckers, for personnel on the yard, and for shippers, Bromma expects that load sensing orders will accelerate strongly during 2012.
New Bromma load sensing technology enables terminals to verify the actual weight of their containers without any disruption to ordinary operations. This has both safety and operational planning benefits. From a safety standpoint, Bromma load sensing technology creates a safer lifting environment, and from an operational standpoint, it aids in container stacking planning.
