4. Description of the functions
4.1 Description
The equipment is designed such that, via a hydraulically activated piston, two equal, opposite
spreader arms are symmetrically opened by mechanical joints, thereby spreading objects.
Closing the spreader arms is also carried out hydraulically and mechanically by reverse
order of the piston.
All spreaders ensure full load-holding function when disconnected from the hydraulic supply
(e. g. when being accidentally decoupled; defective hose, etc.).
