WTP Semi-Auto Spreader: A Smart Upgrade for Efficient Container Handling

The WTP Semi-Auto Spreader is an innovative attachment that transforms a standard ISO container spreader into a WTP-capable solution for seamless container handling across both ISO and WTP formats. This smart adaptation requires no overhaul—just the integration of four core components:

• The existing twistlocks and hydraulic system of the parent spreader
• A WTP adapter with its own integral hydraulic release mechanism
• A mechanical link system to attach or detach WTP containers
• Crane lifting motion–activated WTP twistlock extensions

Designed for ports and container terminals, this spreader offers a smooth transition between container types, reducing the need for duplicate equipment and minimizing operational complexity.

With minimal hydraulic components, it simplifies maintenance and shortens breakdown recovery time. Key spare parts—like hydraulic hoses and replacement twistlock cylinders—are easy to source and essential for maintaining uptime.

The WTP Semi-Auto Spreader empowers terminals to automate workflows with confidence, making it an efficient, flexible, and cost-effective solution for twenty-first-century container handling.
