Container Technics NV is an Antwerp‑based specialist in marine lifting and lashing equipment, supplying certified container lifting spreaders to vessels and terminals worldwide. Our portfolio includes 20ft and 40ft container spreaders, each delivered complete with certified lifting wires and a Marine Class Batch certificate, ensuring safe, compliant, and reliable lifting operations.
Our CONTECH® semi‑automatic container spreaders combine the low weight of a manual spreader with the operational efficiency of an automatic system. The proven mechanical locking mechanism is controlled directly by the crane operator: by simply raising or lowering the crane hook, the twistlocks engage or disengage automatically—without any manual intervention on deck.
Designed for demanding maritime environments, CONTECH® spreaders are robust, durable, and easy to operate in all working conditions. With strategic stock and global logistics capabilities, Container Technics can supply container spreaders directly to any vessel at the port or destination of your choice.
CONTECH® semi‑automatic container spreaders are engineered to provide a safe, efficient, and cost‑effective lifting solution for containers in maritime and industrial environments. Their fully mechanical operating principle eliminates the need for power supply, hydraulics, or electronics, resulting in minimal maintenance requirements and maximum operational reliability.
The locking and unlocking of the container twistlocks is controlled entirely by the vertical movement of the crane hook, allowing the crane operator to perform all lifting operations from the cab. This design removes the need for personnel to work on top of containers, significantly improving safety during loading and unloading.
CONTECH® spreaders are widely used on container vessels, general cargo ships, ports, terminals, offshore support vessels, and construction sites, where reliability and safety are critical.
Container Technics offers a comprehensive range of CONTECH® semi‑automatic container lifting spreaders, designed for safe and efficient handling of standard ISO containers. Our spreaders are available in multiple configurations to suit different container sizes, lifting capacities, and operational requirements in marine and industrial environments.
Each CONTECH® container spreader is engineered for long‑term durability and is supplied ready for immediate use, complete with certified lifting wires and Marine Class Batch certification as standard. The semi‑automatic mechanical design ensures reliable twistlock engagement without external power sources, making the spreaders highly suitable for intensive maritime operations.
All models are designed and manufactured in Europe and can be supplied directly from stock or with short delivery times, depending on configuration and project requirements.
