Timars delivers new type of Overheight Frame to Port of Felixstowe

The electric system is built with high quality parts including linear actuators in alloy steel and controller and color display from IFM. The Overheight frames can also be equipped with the new control system for service where the overheight frame sends information to engineering (or other interests in the port). Engineering can get information on the computer or smartphone about battery status, accumulative time in operation, number of TEU operated, current position and potential error messages.

The electrical system is a smart solution where the frame goes into sleep mode with extremely low power consumption and thereby will save battery. The solar panels on top of the frame is enough to keep the battery capacity during normal use.

Lifting capacity is SWL50T and the frame can be used with any kind of spreader and spreader brand. It is also telescopic from 20-45ft and the frames delivered to Port of Felixstowe had 2,6m free height.

Timars has before also developed and delivered unique Offset Frames for picking 20ft containers close to the bridge of the vessel, 1,5m offset from the normal crane spreader. These Offset frames has also the latest safety system including the Hoist Interlock system and has been proven a success in the port. The Offset frames are fully automatic and has given Port of Felixstowe increased efficiency and safer handling on containers close to the bridge on the vessels. Lifting capacity up to SWL40T.
