The BA-323 Gondola Safety Cage represents the pinnacle of specialized port safety equipment, engineered specifically for Ship-to-Shore (STS) crane operations. Unlike standard closed cages, our "Gondola" design features two separate, fully equipped cabins at each end of the structure with an open center. This unique architecture drastically reduces the space between the gondola and the containers, maximizing the operational height of your crane and allowing your terminal to service taller vessels without compromising safety.
Designed to eliminate the hazards of working at extreme heights, the BA-323 facilitates swift and secure access to container twistlocks during vessel unloading and stowing. Every BA-323 is engineered with a strict safety factor of 10 and comes equipped with an advanced secondary safety system (available in manual, mechanical, or electric configurations) to ensure the cage remains securely locked to the spreader at all times.
Key Advantages:
- Maximized Operational Height: The split-cabin gondola design allows the main spreader to sit lower, making it the perfect solution for servicing mega-ships where crane height limits are a challenge.
- Redundant Safety Mechanisms: Features a primary twistlock connection and a secondary anti-drop safety system, along with inward-opening auto-close doors, anti-slip flooring, and certified fall-protection anchor points (EN795).
- Stevedore-Centric Ergonomics: Each cabin provides ample space for up to two workers with their full lashing gear, protected by robust guardrails and overhead shielding.
- Versatile Range: Available in Fixed (20', 40', 45') or Telescopic (20'-40'-45') models to adapt seamlessly to your existing spreader fleet.
