ABOUT US
We are Stinis. A family business to which six generations of talented engineers have devoted themselves. We design, manufacture and service spreaders and custom lifting equipment for container handling. We supply the entire package for under your cranes.
Read MoreBeing our customer means you get continuous support from a seasoned pioneer in cutting-edge spreader technology.
Your spreaders are not stand-alone machines. When your spreader is down, your crane is put out of service. This causes delays and disturbs your operations. Our spreaders are a crucial link in your logistic flow. Choosing the right spreader can make a major difference to your port’s safety and productivity.
Stinis has nearly 200 years of experience in giving others the tools to do their jobs. We know what is expected from us. We promise to advise you in good conscience about what we think you really need. We promise to solve your problems, not just sell you products. Most importantly, you are guaranteed of a lifetime of support, regardless of warranty periods. And you get to talk to specialists – people who love what they do and do it for you.
OUR APPROACH
There is one word that captures our process, from tender to commissioning: personal. Our first step is a thorough analysis of your needs and desires. We will look into the circumstances under which you work. Do you operate in coastal or in-land regions?
Read MoreNext, we will engage you about those spreader features that make sense for your current and future needs. Do you plan to switch to remote operations? We can deliver your spreaders with cameras and positioning systems or make preparations for a later installation. Do you foresee a need for tandem operations? We can advise you on how to prepare your cranes and crew for working with the Stinis Split-Headblock. If you employ a multilingual staff, we offer touch screens with information in multiple languages for their convenience. The options are endless, but our recommendations hinge upon what your business actually needs.
To help new customers get a feel for us, we like welcoming people to our facilities. Being able to touch the products we build and hearing our responsive design process in action, shows what it means to join the Stinis family. We’ll train your staff too. Or, if you prefer, we can send our own experts to service your spreaders and share what they know.
During this entire process, we will keep in constant contact.
SERVICE
Some spreader downtime is unavoidable, but we understand like no other that it needs to be kept to an absolute minimum. This is why our service strategy is built around giving you the freedom to structure work on your spreaders in the way you prefer.
Read MoreWe are very eager to partner up with you for projects in which we focus on spreader performance, causes of downtime and minimum moves between failure. These projects provide an excellent opportunity for us to gain deep insights that translate directly into targeted advice for higher uptime and increased reliability for you.
We also provide training either on site or in one of our facilities. Whether you have a staff of experienced people who know spreaders like the back of their hand, or newer people who still need to learn the ropes, they can benefit from a variety of classes and courses, either to refresh faded knowledge or to learn to work with cutting-edge features.
Each spreader comes with documentation that details routine and preventative maintenance. We include interactive models that allow you to quickly select and order the correct spare parts. Since we have spare part depots in various strategic locations, and our after-sales staff has real-time access to our supply, you don’t need to worry about stocking too many parts yourself. Just reach out and tell us the unique spreader ID.
Like we said before, the end of a warranty period is not the end of our service. No matter how old your spreader is, we are always happy to support you. And if we can, we will help you give your spreader a new lease on life. That is what we mean when we say lifetime support.
SPREADER FEATURES
The price of our spreader is a relatively small part of your total crane investment, but your choice has enormous repercussions for your port’s productivity. This is why we have our golden rule: never compromise on quality. Click Read More to view our unique spreader features.
Read MoreMONOBEAM
All our spreaders are equipped with a maintenance free mono-beam construction. Mono-beams give the crane driver better visibility and provide technical support staff easier and safer access to the spreader.
HIGH FLIPPER TORQUE
Our spreaders come with the strongest flipper actuators in the industry. Stinis flippers increase your quay-side productivity with at least 5 % by allowing your operators to position our spreaders on the container faster than any other spreader brand.
AUTOMATIC GREASING SYSTEM
Our automatic greasing system has been installed on more than 2.000 of our spreaders worldwide. The system reduces maintenance cost, but more importantly: it lowers spreader downtime significantly.
FAST TELESCOPING TIMES
It takes approximate 18 seconds to telescope from 20’ to 40’ and another 5 to 6 seconds to telescope from 40’ to 45’.
SHOCK ABSORBING SYSTEM
The Stinis Shock Absorbing System reduces noise during landing and lifting. Because it reduces impact, the system also extends the lifetime of spreader and crane.
LONG TWISTLOCK LIFETIME
Our patented Double-Collar twistlock design extends the lifetime of your twistlocks and improves safety.
