This standard was originally published in 1981. This revision has been undertaken to align with the current practices and to include 12m(40 feet) spreaders. When atypical 4-leg sling isused for lifting afreight container, compressive stresses are developed along the horizontal roof line of container. Containers are not constructed to take this stress atthe roof plane. Therefore, spreaders are used for handling of freight containers which take these compressive stresses and prevent the container from any damage. l Applicable statutory requirements pertaining to container spreaders shall be adhered to. Forthepurposeofdeciding whether aparticular requirement ofthisstandardiscomplied with,thefinalvalue,observed Vrdculated, expressing the result of atest or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS2:1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained inthe rounded off value should be the salineas that of the specified value in this standard. .. .. .. . ..... . ..... . .... ... 1S9881:2007 Indian Standard CONTAINER SPREADERS — SPECIFICATION (First Revision ) 1 SCOPE 3.1 Fixed Spreaders — Spreaders constructed of fixed lengthof6m(20 feet) or 12m(40 feet).
