Elme has developed a spreader that can tip shipping containers to empty them.

The spreader comes in two models - the telescopic model 817 that handles 20-foot and 40-foot containers, and the 327 model that handles only 20-foot containers, with a lift capacity up to 45 tonnes.

Besides its normal function of lifting and moving full containers around, the spreader incorporates a tipping mechanism.

It is suitable for any bulk materials which flow, including minerals, bales of waste, grain, fertilisers and coffee beans.
