3. Bromma Speedloader

3.1 Introduction

The purpose of the Bromma speedloader self-latching feature is to

enable the crane operator to quickly and safely attach or detach the
overheight to/from the spreader during cargo handling operations.

Historically, the overheight frame has been attached to the spreader

with a pin type connection onto lug attachment on the end beams. Typically,
attaching the overheight attachment to the spreader requires 15 minutes to
align the 2 units and secure the mounting pins. Also, several dockside
personnel are exposed to potentially harmful conditions during the manual
connection operation.

3.2 Advantages

The Bromma speed loader offers the following advantages:

Quick Shop tests indicate that attachment can be done in 30

seconds vs.15 mins. if done manually

Fewer Personnel Only the crane operator is needed. No dockside

personnel are required as they are when done
manually.

Safe No dockside personnel are exposed to potentially

dangerous conditions.

3.3 General Description

The HSM6-6 Speedloader is supplied complete with an overheight

attachment and a storage fixture.

The storage fixture includes fork pockets so that it may be transported

with a lift truck and it also includes ISO corner castings at its bottom, for
mounting onto a truck trailer chassis. The storage fixture and overheight
attachment may be stored in the back-reach area of the crane for quick and
easy access.

HSM-6 S.N. : 7256-57 3-1

3.3 Safety features

The Bromma speedloader has several safety features incorporated into its
design.

• The latches are spring-loaded to the latched position

• A mechanical interlock prevents the latching arm from inadvertently being

forced out of position

• A mechanical interlock on the twistlock prevents unlocking of the

twistlocks and dropping a pallet or flat rack while suspended in mid-air

4. Operation of the Bromma Speedloader

4.1 Attaching Bromma Speedloader to the Spreader

4.1.1 INITIAL CONDITION

a) Initial Stowage (Primary) Position

The overheight attachment is stowed on the

storage fixture in the 20’ position. It is located
in the primary position. The primary position
has a plunger (fixture) holding the latching arm
in the unlatched position.

b) Handling the overheight attachment with

spreader

The spreader is positioned over the ISO

corner castings of the overheight attachment.
Once positioned and landed on the
attachment, the crane operator locks the
spreader twistlocks. (Similar to handling a
20’ container)

The overheight twistlock assembly is actuated

by the spreader via a coupling located
between the ISO corner casting.

HSM-6 S.N. : 7256-57 4-1

4.1.2 ENGAGING LATCHING ARM OF OVERHEIGHT
ATTACHMENT (SPEEDLOADER) ON THE SPREADER

c) Moving the overheight attachment

from primary to secondary position

The crane operator hoists the

overheight attachment from the
primary position approximately 300-
450mm. He then trolleys to align the
overheight attachment in the secondary
position on the stowage fixture. In the
secondary position there is no fixture
plunger to engage the overheight
latching arm.

HSM-6 S.N. : 7256-57 4-2

 d) Lowering the attachment in the
secondary position

Once in position, the crane operator

lowers the spreader and overheight
onto the storage fixture.

The pretensioned spring on the top of

the latching arm causes the latching
arm to move towards the latched
position.

The mechanical interlock on the

overheight attachment prevents the
latch from fully latching.

e) Latching the overheight

attachment onto the spreader

Once landed on the secondary position,

the twistlocks are to be unlocked and
the latching arm completes its latching
motion.

At an intermediate position between the

locked and unlocked positions a slot in
the mechanical interlock permits the
latching arm to pass through.

HSM-6 S.N. : 7256-57 4-3

 4.1.3 OPERATION WITH overheight attachment (speedloader)
Operation with no-load condition

The overheight attachment is now latched to the

spreader and both are hoisted from the storage
fixture and are ready to handle cargo. (See Fig.4).
The latching arm remains latched in this position
by a spring-loaded guide pin.

Mechanical Interlock to prevent

disengagement

If the latching arm is bumped around enough

during operation to overcome the spring force, the
mechanical interlock will prevent the latching arm
from disengaging from the spreader lug.

Operation with a container load condition

The overheight attachment is now a slave unit of

the spreader. It contains its twistlock actuation
from the spreader.

Once landed on a container, the spreader

twistlocks are locked thus operating the
overheight attachment’s twistlocks to the locked
position.

The container is lifted at its corner castings by

the overheight attachment’s twistlocks. The full
load is transmitted to the spreader via the (4)
twistlocks. (See Fig.5).

Note that there is no load on the spreader lug

attachment as a clearance is maintained during
this condition.

HSM-6 S.N. : 7256-57 4-4

4.1.4 DISENGAGING THE OVERHEIGHT ATTACHMENT
(SPEEDLOADER)

Stowage of overheight attachment onto

storage fixture

Once cargo operation is completed, the crane

operator positions the spreader and
overheight attachment over the storage
fixture in the 20’ position.

He then lowers the overheight attachment

onto the storage fixture in the primary position
of the storage fixture. At this position the
spring-loaded fixture plunger will push up
against the latching arm.

The mechanical interlock prevents the arm

from unlatching even though the plunger is
pushing in that direction. (See Fig.6)

Disengagement of latching arm from

spreader lug

a) As the crane operator locks the

twistlocks, the mechanical interlock rotates.
When the slot on the mechanical interlock
lines up with the latching arm, the arm is
forced into the unlatched position by the
fixture plunger.
This disengages the latching arm from the
spreader.

b) The operator then unlocks the twistlocks

and removes the spreader from the
overheight attachment. (See Fig.7)

HSM-6 S.N. : 7256-57 4-6
5. Safety Precautions

a) Never exceed S.W. L. of unit (see name plate for detail).

b) Stay clear of spreader when in operation.

c) Stay away from all moving parts, such as latching arms, fixture
plungers, etc.

d) Use overheight attachment only for the purpose for which it is

designed.

e) Unlocking spreader while suspended in air could create personnel

injury and property damage. Never unlock spreader while suspended
in air.

f) Do not stand under suspended load.

g) Daily inspect the attachment and fittings for visual damage.

6. Start up Procedures

LOAD TESTING CERTIFICATION

PROCEDURE FOR SELF LATCHING OVERHEIGHT

Because this attachment must be load tested under its master spreader, it is
the responsibility of the Purchaser to load test the unit at his facility. Through
the legs and twistlocks of the Overheight Attachment, pull 100% of working
capacity (125% x 45000kg) or 125% of the working capacity of your
spreader/hoist combination, whichever is less.

For the latch arm/spreader lug attachment, pull test 125% of the tare weight
of the overheight attachment. Alternatively, you can pull test a 5:1 load.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

This attachment is designed to handle overheight containers while mounted

under a master spreader. The connection between the master and slave is
completely mechanical so no hydraulic or electrical connections are required.

The slave unit is attached to the master at 4 ponits on the gable or end
beams. The working load is carried by the twistlocks through the corner
housing.

The slave or overheight attachment should be installed in the 20’ position.

HSM-6 S.N. : 7256-57 6-1

7. Maintenance Procedures

No complicated maintenance of the attachment is anticipated. Wear items

should be examined periodically and replaced as required. Twistlocks should
be inspected as described in following section 7.2.

7.1 Lubrication and Inpection Schedule

INITIAL

• Grease twistlock housing points and slides.

• Visually inspect structure for shipping damage.
• Check load carrying bolts for proper torque per Bromma
drwg.D8282

• Inspect the unit for loose parts and obvious damage.

WEEKLY

• Grease twistlock housing points and slides and lubricate moving

parts in the latch assembly and fixture assembly.

MONTHLY

• Visually inspect structure for weld cracks, fatigue cracks and

damage due to misuse. Visually inspect latching arms and
attachment lugs for cracks or damage.

HSM-6 S.N. : 7256-57 7-1

7.2 TWISTLOCK MAINTENANCE
