YARD AUTOMATION Peace of mind with perfect spreader reliability

ALL IS WELL IN YOUR AUTOMATED TERMINAL Thanks to reliable spreader solutions from Bromma, your entire fleet of yard spreaders can be monitored and controlled from a central point, in or outside your automated terminal. One by one, the world’s terminals are being automated. And the driving forces are the same round the globe: higher productivity at a lower cost. Yet automated terminal operation is particularly vulnerable to breakdowns, even more so than manual operation. Any unplanned standstill will last longer and the consequences both upstream and downstream are more troublesome. That is...

DRIVERS FOR AUTOMATING A TERMINAL Automating your yard brings many benefits. Most obviously, safety is increased as fewer need to be present in the yard during operation. Automation also increases stacking capacity while reducing faults due to the human factor. Fewer people in and around the yard also reduces the risk of personal injury. Automation also means it will be easier to plan maintenance and crane performance more efficiently. AVOID THE SPREADER BUTTERFLY EFFECT If your spreader fails, so will your crane. Then ships will be delayed in berth, and soon vessels will begin to queue up...

THE MODERN TERMINAL Bromma delivered the spreaders to the world’s first yard crane automation projects in the 1990s, and have since continued to lead the way in automationfriendly spreaders and software. Thanks to our deep understanding and experience of terminal needs, we have played a key role in most of the automatic stacking crane (ASC) projects that have been carried out around the world. Thanks to options such as SCS 4 or GreenZone, you can expect our spreaders to have a more predictable performance and lower maintenance requirements. In addition, the absence of oil eliminates the...

Successful yard automation is like a chain of interdependent events that must work perfectly together. And as the saying goes: a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Spreaders are located closest to the containers and therefore exposed to the elements and to constant G forces. It takes truly robust spreaders to withstand the strain and ensure uptime. Bromma is the world’s leader in spreaders. We have been in the industry since the dawn of containerization, always in sync with developments in the terminal industry. We introduced spreaders for yard automation in the 1990s and have...

This was a decisive moment in modern terminal history, lifting automated yard handling to a new level. Our spreaders are always present when it comes to terminal automation – and will continue to be so in the future. Almost as if they were an integral part of every automated terminal. And of logistics as such.

LOAD-SENSING SYSTEM ELECTRIC FLIPPER Bromma’s load-sensing system makes it easy to weigh containers during normal crane operation as part of the crane’s lifting cycle. You don’t have to spend any additional time on weighing containers, e.g. using a weigh bridge. This will help you cut lead times and make containers flow more smoothly through the terminal. The system also enables important functions for monitoring the operation and avoiding accidents when lifting. Electric flippers help to smoothen and simplify the landing of the spreader on your containers, ensuring fast and effective...
