RAM’s pipe handling spreader has been developed for ship loading without manual intervention. The spreader can effectively handle a wide variety of pipe lengths and diameters due to its four telescopic beams that move along the longitudinal and lateral axis.
An onboard diesel engine provides power to the electro-hydraulically operated spreader, with all functions controlled by wireless remote control.
At the end of each telescopic beam, end manipulators with built-in padding rings and additional padding on each of the spreader’s pipe contact points prevent damage during the handling process.
The spreader includes mechanical sensing assemblies ensuring the safe handling of pipes. Crane operators know when to hoist the pipes thanks to LED indicators signalling when the pipes are safe and secure.
The pipe spreader’s onboard diagnostic panel provides troubleshooting information and monitors sensor status. This reduces unnecessary spreader downtime and maximises the spreader’s uptime.
