With fifty years of experience in the container handling business, Vectrix is the outcome of the latest product development focused specifically on the crane spreader portfolio.
Engineered with inspiration from the successful design principles of our world-leading truck spreaders, the Vectrix crane spreaders have been carefully designed to offer a solution to the market that meets the highest industry standards. All spreaders are designed in compliance with EN15056 and EN13001.
Every detail has been optimized through our unique in-house process, where our skilled engineers work closely with the production team. This seamless collaboration means that every design is not only thoroughly tested but is also constantly improved upon.
Welcome to the future. Made in Sweden.
Sales start autumn 2025.
Engineered with precision and combining years of experience with forward-thinking innovation, the Vectrix spreader series represents a new standard in performance. Central to its performance is the idea of vector meets matrix - a balance of strength, durability, and smart mechanics.
This synergy allows the Vectrix spreaders to be energy efficient and at the same time robust and trustworthy. With a modular design, the Vectrix spreader series offers a cost-effective customization by the possibility to easily replace or adapt individual components to meet specific operational needs, resulting in easier maintenance, reduced downtime, and an extended lifespan.
The Vectrix spreader series features an updated design with increased structural strength, including enhanced piggyback legs, a reinforced frame, and an increased lifting capacity up to 50 tonnes.
This design contributes to an even distribution of forces throughout the structure, reducing stress levels and minimizing weak points that could lead to failure. As a result, the material is less prone to fatigue, extending the expected lifespan, improving safety, and enhancing overall performance.
With the structurally optimized design of the Vectrix spreaders, unnecessary weight is eliminated in non-critical areas while maintaining full lifting capacity. This design reduces the need for extra reinforcements, keeping the spreader as light as possible.
This reduction in weight decreases strain on the cranes, enhancing durability and extending equipment lifespan. It also improves energy efficiency, optimizes the use of the crane’s lifting capacity, and lowers operational costs, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective container handling solution.
Thanks to its optimized structural design, which results in the Vectrix spreaders being as light as possible, this reduced weight lowers the strain on the cranes, simultaneously decreasing the energy use proportionally.
For the hydraulic spreader models, the design incorporates a hydraulic system that reduces unnecessary energy consumption by unloading the pumps as standard when no command is given. With the possibility to choose between hydraulic, electric, or hybrid spreaders, the Vectrix spreader series allows a selection of the best solution based on the specific operational needs. Each alternative is tailored to optimize energy consumption.
The vectrix spreader series is designed for maximum durability, contributing to consistent performance throughout the spreader’s lifecycle. The absence of local reinforcements in the frame structure suggests that the entire spreader will last longer, helping to increase productivity by maintaining high operational uptime. In addition, the design helps prevent premature fatigue, resulting in a spreader that remains a reliable and efficient tool for years to come.
