4. Description of the functions
4.1 Description
The equipment is designed such that, via a hydraulically activated piston, two equal, opposite
spreader arms are symmetrically opened by mechanical joints, thereby spreading objects.
Closing the spreader arms is also carried out hydraulically and mechanically by reverse
order of the piston.
All spreaders ensure full load-holding function when disconnected from the hydraulic supply
(e. g. when being unintentional decoupled; defective hose, and so on).
(For reasons of safety, equipment SP 510 and SP 512 are internally safeguarded from 63
MPa = 630bar When the safeguarding valve responds a screeching noise can occur. Even
if the screeching noise occurs in unloaded condition, deactivate the equipment immediately
and contact your authorized dealer or LUKAS directly!)
