RAM Spreaders has added two new spreaders for container cranes to its range.

The company's CenterSpread series of telescopic twin-lift spreaders has been expanded with the addition of new 2950/2960 models. They are designed for rubber-tyred and rail-mounted gantry cranes, and feature a centre gap adjustable by up to 800mm.

RAM has also released the 1770 model, a new telescopic container spreader for mobile harbour cranes. The first new 1770 unit was commissioned in summer 2004 on a Gottwald 280 mobile harbour crane in Manchester, England.
