tec container spreader in Samoa
Tec Container Asia Pacific has successfully delivered 2 units of semi-automatic container spreaders to Betham Brothers Enterprises (BBE) in Samoa. The two semi-automatic container spreaders (one 20-foot with 36-tonne SWL and one 40-foot with 40-tonne SWL) are currently in operation at Betham Brother’s container operation depot at Port Apia, Samoa.

These container spreaders have been attached to the ship cranes on Betham Brother’s vessel fleet for lifting ISO containers since January. The container spreaders were purchased to meet the increasing demand of BBE’s continually growing and expanding services such as: cargo vessels, stevedoring, cruise liners etc. BBE is satisfied with the high performance of the spreaders and has ordered another unit of the 40-foot semiautomatic container spreader in April.

Tec Container’s spreaders (in all its different versions) have been specially designed for lifting ISO containers. The container is picked up by all four twistlocks, which are introduced into ISO corner castings installed on top of the container.
