Global spreader specialists Bromma are upping the anti in spreader technology by focusing squarely on a greener, more holistic approach.
At a press briefing held in London yesterday, Bromma revealed that in 2011 over 85% of orders were for all electric yard spreaders – fuelled by the boom in automation and the need for maximum efficiency.
The 2,000th all electric crane spreader is being delivered to Ningbo Daxie in China this month.
Bromma has a green vision for the future: its spreaders to have as minimal carbon footprint as possible, but also integrated spreader technology – bringing together electric spreaders at automated terminals equipped with container load sensing, scanning and green productivity software to improve operation.
It is also looking at the whole spreader production process – from which raw materials are used in the production process and where they are sourced through to recycling issues at the end of a spreader's life.
Yesterday, Bromma questioned whether terminal operators were placing all emphasis on greener development and operation and neglecting greener approaches to supply and equipment at terminals.
Lars Meurling, Bromma VP marketing and product development said to GreenPort: “By looking at these issues we intend to drive the market to think about adressing the problem. At present, environmental work is classed as a separate issue to daily operation – it needs to be fully integrated.”
“The message is if you want to be a green terminal, you need to scrutinise your operations but also your production processes and equipment.”
