As the only connection between gantry and container, the reliability of spreaders is not only paramount to preserve profitability, but also safety. For total control, Tsubaki Power Cylinders fit the specification. Electric linear actuators that can be installed and operated with simplified wiring, Power Cylinders remove the need for hydraulic circuits, which can leak and contaminate the local environment. Tsubaki Power Cylinders allow spreader arms to be matched to the size of a container, providing a safe connection during lifting. The skew, trim and lift of the container can also be adjusted by Power Cylinders that control the hoisting rope.

Spreader arms can also be controlled via Tsubaki standard roller chains. Several unique attributes to the range such as Ring Coin connections, Solid Bushes and Lube Grooves offer increased quality over competitor chains. Such features result in a solution of increased reliability and service life.
