Product InformatIon

YSX45E All Electric Yard Crane Spreader

Bromma telescopic spreader YSX45E for yard cranes is an

all-electric mid-range spreader with a mechanical structure

calculated for two million cycles. The spreader is as standard

equipped with 4 x 10 metric tons lifting lugs in the corners

of the end beams for heavy lifts and for handling damaged

containers.

The spreader consists of a rectangular frame construction

enabling easy location on containers. The spreader can adjust

its length to lift 20ft, 30ft (option), 40ft and 45ft containers

using ISO floating twistlocks.

The all-electric spreader reduces power consumption to ap-

proximately 1/10 of a hydraulic spreader. The electrical motors

only consume electricity when an operation is performed.

The electrical equipment and the cable chain system are well

protected in the main frame.

All motions of the spreader are controlled from the driver’s

cab and there are provisions made for signals in the cab

indicating the position of the twistlocks and landing pin

status.

Made of high quality European steel, the YSX45E spreader

provides high lifting capacity with a low nominal tare weight

thanks to the box design of the telescoping arms and the

main frame. It is designed in accordance to EN 13001. All

components can be easily assembled, adjusted, removed and

are accessible for inspection and maintenance.

YSX45E is a silent alternative for most applications, parti-

cularly in environmentally sensitive terminals. Removing the

hydraulics also reduces the risk of hydraulic leakage in the

terminal.

The spreader can be equipped with the SCS4 Spreader Control

System, reducing and preventing downtime through impro-

vements in the area of electrical connections. It will also

shorten downtime through faster spreader fault diagnostics.

major features 90% reduction of power consumption (compared to a

The telescoping system is driven by means of an electric mo-

tor and a purpose designed reduction gearbox connected to an

endless chain. The motor/gearbox is equipped with a friction

clutch protecting against excessive outer forces.

The spreader is latched onto containers by electrically operat-

ed floating ISO twistlocks. The twistlocks are operated in pairs

by a fixed linkage and switches are used for locking, unlock-

ing and landing pin functions.

The endless chain is fitted with a Bromma design shock ab-

sorber at both ends. The shock absorber is designed to damp-

en the effects of impact on the spreader structure and compo-

nents due to loads imposed to the spreader ends.

The telescoping system’s ability of absorbing extreme loads me-

chanically provides the end user with a highly reliable spreader

with increased life even under extreme load conditions.

The flexibility in the system allows for changes in spreader

length up to ±15 mm when handling distorted containers.

This system is durable, strong and has low weight; is easy to

maintain and has long service intervals. The telescoping posi-

tions are controlled by proximity sensors (an absolute encoder

placed on the pedestal bearing is available as an option when

SCS4 is used).

The twistlock motor is of compact and robust design with

built in mechanical stop. The floating range is ±6 mm in all

directions. Each twistlock will incorporate a mechanical inter-

lock to prohibit unlock operation when under load. The twist-

lock pins are proof load tested to 40 metric ton.

LED-type signal lights are placed on each end of the spread-

er’s main frame (optional), showing the driver when:

a) the twistlocks are open,

b) the spreader is properly engaged in the corner castings,

c) all twistlocks are properly locked in the corner castings. Corresponding signals are provided to the crane cabin.

This enhances the possibility of monitoring each I/O point

and reduces the number of cables needed and the replacement

time for connecting sensors and actuators to the controls.

CANopen box

For reliability reasons Bromma recommends the use of 24 V DC

on all controls.

The electrical safety features to protect and ensure proper

handling of containers are as follows:

Spreader cannot be hoisted unless all four twistlocks are

fully ”Locked” or ”Unlocked” (provided the crane controls

have a hoist permit safety circuit.)

Spreader twistlocks can only be ”Locked” or ”Unlocked”

when all four corners are properly seated on a container or

hatch cover.

guIde arms

The spreader is equipped with four fixed guide arms to guide

the spreader onto the container. These are located one at

each end of the long side of the spreader. The guide arms are

fastened by means of bolts and nuts and a bar that fits to a

slot in the end beam. The bar prevents the bolts from shear-

ing off in case of heavy landings. Several guide arm combina-

tions are available.

The main electric cabinet is mounted on heavy-duty rubber

shock absorbers and is well protected on or within the main-

frame. The actual position depends on the head block design.

Junction boxes are placed at the end beams. Proximity switch-

es control the positioning of the telescoping (an absolute en-

coder placed on the pedestal bearing is available as an option

when SCS4 is used).

The electrical components are mounted in a stainless steel

cabinet, IP66. All cables are well-protected in cable chains.

The power required to operate the spreader’s electrical compo-

nents is obtained from the crane. All electrical components on

the spreader are designed to withstand loads imposed during

container handling operations and suitable for a marine envi-

ronment.

The spreader can optionally be equipped with CANopen slave

units.

monItorIng and dIagnostIc system scs4

For monitoring and diagnosing, the YSX45E can be equipped

with the SCS4 Spreader Control System (option). The SCS4 can

communicate with host controllers by a wide variety of proto-

cols.

The rugged SCS4 control unit is equipped with a bright touch

screen and mounted on the spreader for easy access. Monitor-

ing and diagnostics can be available in different ways; on the

screen, on the crane, through a web interface via an external

PC, a handheld computer or via Bromma Greenzone applica-

tions.

The SCS4 system delivers advanced monitoring and diagnostic

information, which means that service staff can react faster to

fault events. Instead of investigating possible sources of fault

events one by one, the SCS4 gives service technicians specific,

precise information, enabling them to quickly solve the prob-

lems occurred.

The SCS4 system simplifies handling of the spreader and pre-

vents fault events. It also eliminates or minimizes junction

boxes, terminal strips and relays- areas where wire breakage

is common. Other than that, conventional wiring is also re-

duced.

The SCS4 user interface is intuitive and easy to use. The sys-

tem also includes complete manuals for the spreader. The

backup memory and battery are placed outside the unit and

are easy to replace.
