To ensure the safe and efficient handling of various container types, SpanSet Axzion offers four container lifting beams with different locking and suspension designs. Explore the product range and find the right solution for your needs.
1. Container lifting beam with mechanical central locking system
The economical solution for container handling
The SpanSet Axzion container lifting beam with mechanical central locking system enables the safe lifting and moving of 20′- and 40′-ISO containers.
Locking is performed manually using a suspended chain reel and push rods, which simultaneously engage all four locking bolts. A visual safety indicator helps to check the locking status, while guide plates simplify positioning the lifting beam on the container.
Your benefits:
Suitable for 20′ and 40′ ISO containers
Manual operation via chain reel and push rods
Simultaneous operation of all four locking bolts
Visual safety indicator for locking verification
Guide plates for easy positioning
2. Container lifting beam with electric central locking
Comfortable operation thanks to an electric lock
The SpanSet Axzion container lifting beam with electric central locking system enables the lifting and moving of 20′ and 40′ ISO containers using an existing crane system.
Locking is achieved via energy-efficient electric cylinders and is operated using a wired handheld control unit. All four locking bolts are activated simultaneously. A visual indicator shows the locking status.
Power is supplied externally via the crane as standard and must be provided by the customer. A battery-powered option is also available.
Upon request, the container spreader can be supplied with a DNV design certification.
Your benefits:
Electric locking via energy-efficient electric cylinders
Operation via a wired handheld control unit
Simultaneous actuation of all four locking bolts
Visual indicator for locking status
Guide plates for secure centering on the container
Optional battery-powered power supply
Optionally available with DNV design certification

The lifting beam features a Vario-suspension system for single hooks in accordance with DIN 15401 and is equipped with high-strength grade 10 chains. The container is secured using the container hooks included with the lifting beam.
Depending on the design, the chains are available with or without chain shorteners. For versions with chain shorteners, the chain lengths can be adjusted to suit different load centers of gravity.
Your benefits:
Suitable for 20′ and 40′ ISO containers
Vario-suspension system for single hooks in accordance with DIN 15401
High-strength grade 10 chains
Available with or without chain shorteners
