Tandemloc has introduced the AX16D00-00A-PA, a 50-ton, 6-point XL beam designed to meet the demands of heavy-duty Megapack lifting. With a working load limit of 100,000 pounds, the spreader beam is engineered to ensure safe, precise handling of high-value Megapack containers during transport and installation.
The AX16D00-00A-PA is equipped with an interchangeable plug-and-play 20 amp-hour battery pack system, which provides over 10 hours of runtime and more than 100 container engagements per charge. A custom battery case allows for fast, tool-style swapping and charging. Additional battery packs can be purchased to support continuous lifter operation.
The lift frame includes a battery monitoring system with non-contact sensors to track locking and unlocking cycles, ensuring reliable twist lock control. LED signal lights offer clear visibility of operational status, while a wireless remote enables extended-range control with auto shutoff and emergency stop features.
The AX16D00-00A-PA also features motorized locking and unlocking, with onboard sensors confirming container alignment and twist lock position before operation. The system is designed to minimize human error and enhance overall lifting efficiency.
Tandemloc states the AX16D00-00A-PA represents a significant step forward in both safety and performance for heavy Megapack container handling.
