Elme Spreader AB

ELME Spreader supports companies worldwide with container handling solutions that make their work easier and more profitable. Over a period of four decades, our customers have attached over 25,000 ELME spreaders to their lift trucks, reach stackers, straddle carriers and cranes. The trust we’ve earned has made ELME Spreader the world’s leading independent spreader manufacturer.

Started as a one man company in 1974, today, ELME Spreader employs 200 highly qualified people, who develop, design, produce, market and service over 1,100 spreaders annually. Every single spreader is built at the plant in Älmhult, where all the work is carried out – from start to finish it’s an all In-house production. This unique approach results in 100% control over the production and final quality of our products.

The ELME spreader product range includes spreaders for cranes, straddle carriers, lift trucks and reach stackers for ISO container handling and spreaders for intermodal handling, allowing the spreader to handle swap bodies, trailers and bottom lift containers.

We also offer a wide range of piggyback slave attachments and special equipment for cranes and trucks (e.g. tool changer, slab handler and spreaders with tilting function) together with our range of approved spare parts– ELME Genuine Parts. Read more about us and our products at: elme.com.
