March 2022 sees further, innovative technology from the CRS team, the Maxebeam®
The release of our latest, innovative, 'Patent Pending' spreader system allows CRS Rotainer® owners to maximise productively by allowing the maximum lift capacity available from their mobile equipment .
CRS's innovated technology is the design of the unique internal frame structure which allowed CRS engineers to replicate the functionality normally provided by standard container spreaders such as side shift and rotation, functions that are not available on standard fixed spreaders or tool carriers.
FEA and computer modelling confirmed that operating dynamics are maintained within the parameters of a normal 20/40 container handling spreader design
With a Gross lifting capacity of 50,000kgs with tare weight of 3000kgs makes this an attractive option for users looking to increase reach stacker handling capacity without the expense of upgrading to more expensive, larger capacity machines with extended delivery times, best of all, after initial set up it can be swapped back to a normal spreader operation in less than 2 hours.

February 2022 - CRS Develops New Lid Lifting System Standard Open Container Lids.

 |
 |
 |
Since the release of the highly successful Rotainer® Eurospec Range of container rotators, CRS has been continuously approached by a number of Major concentrate suppliers to come up with a simple approached for the removal of container Lids that use rudimentary gravity operated container lid locks
After extensive industry review, CRS developed an innovative, rotatable concentric 'Claw' apparatus to manipulate locks depicted in the pictures above for the fast, simple reliable removal and replacement of container lids with gravity locks
The first Australian based client to come on board with his new lid lift system operates some 3800 mineral sands containers with both road and rails links in their intermodal container logistics process.
Furthermore, due to several requests, this system will be implemented in the Latin American region shortly where many thousands of these containers are utilised in the Copper Concentrate Industry.

January 2022 - Rotainer® Eurospec 38 RS-CSS (Container Support System) Up And Running
 |
 |
 |
CRS is extremely pleased with our latest sale with remote commissioning in the midst of Covid restrictions and supply difficulties.
CRS's highly successful, Rotainer Europsec 38 was fitted with our latest, Innovative, Patent Pending Technology, known as CSS - Container Support System.
The system was designed, tried and tested on several experimental containers constructed in our Sydney Manufacturing Premises for durability and functionality before being containerised for export as a 'Plug and Play' installation.
The CSS system uses a 'Passive' (no moving parts) to support the side walls of any container, thus moving all stresses, torsions and bending moments from the container back into the main structure of the Rotainer's superior frame structure.
The net result of CSS is less sophisticated container designs can be used to handle bulk materials, this in turn answers the current problem with supply backlogs combined with ever increasing costs.
Local industries now have an opportunity to manufacture their own, more cost effective, open top containers eliminating the need for expensive compliance's and certifications, especially if there are for specific sites use only.
Furthermore, to meet customers needs, CRS now offers our clients a certified container engineering packages for the manufacture of rotatable containers in any Country to coincide with our CSS, a perfect option to support local business tyring to rebuild after 2 years of Covid lock downs.

October 2021 - (CSS) Container Support Systems Commercialised for Global Supply
 |
 |
 |
October 2021 sees the finalisation of our latest innovative technology.
CSS, Container Side Wall Support System'.
This new technology allows any type of container to be Rotated in the Rotainer® Eurospec range of container rotators.
This simple 'Passive' support system has no moving parts.
It removes the dynamic loads and bending forces from the container side wall when rotating though the 90 degree point, it transfers any bending forces or external influences back into the Rotainer's rotating arms through to the main frame.
Developed due to the lack of supply, with a view to answer the rising costs of standards and specialised containers, this latest technology supports the side wall of any type of container during the rotating process.
In short, we have removed the need for expensive, specialised, heavy duty rotatable containers.
You can now use standard open tops, general G.P's with the tops removed or produce your own containers in your own Country with assistance of CRS design engineers.
The system has been thoroughly tested with I.P lodged (Intellectual Property).
It been so well embraced by the bulk commodities industry, our initial order is in the double figures, another game changer by the innovative team at CRS, Container Rotation Systems.

December - 2019 CRS Unveils Ezzelid System
To coincide with the 2020 release of the Rotainer ®Eurospec MH range of container rotators CRS is also pleased to highlight the release of our all new, Patent Pending Ezzelid™ Container Lid Opening System.
Rigorous workshop testing has proved this new system is ready to revolutionise the container rotation industry where fully sealed and locked container lids are required with automatic opening.
For the last decade the industry has persisted with the 'Hang Over' of antiquated lid removal systems originally designed over 30 years ago for contanier tippler applications. These systems involved special lifting frames on container rotators, various lid locking devices, complexed hydraulics and electrical functions, all now redundant.
A re-think by the innovative team at CRS highlighted a simple, cost effective solution to enhance reliability, cycle times, reduced downtime and maintenance.
The Rotainer® Eurospec MH Range does not required such systems therefore is more economical to produce, being 'softer' dynamically it further justifies less complexed container designs therefore reducing the total capital outlay.

December 2018 - CRS Releases Rotainer Eurospec 38 RS
Another Milestone for CRS with the Global release of our Rotainer Eurospec 38RS.
38000kg Gross Capacity suitable for any Reach Stacker, with or without lid lifting.
CRS are very exited about this release as it completes our container rotators for our Reach Stacker Portfolio.
We now offer 32T and 38T container rotators that cater from 1450mm Half Heights right through to 2900mm Bulkers, with or without automated lid lifting.
Transition from normal container handling to container rotation in seconds.
Being a 'stand alone' system, powered by a small Diesel Engine with remote control negates the complexity of interfacing with the hydraulics and electrics of sophisticated, late model Reach Stackers - a maintenance plus!
Utilising CRS's single beam technology with our Patented drive system makes this the simplest drive system on the market.
Our 180 degree rotation system, based on F.E.L (Front End Loader Technology) whereby, the load is always discharged away from the operators cabin ensuring no product ever comes in contact with the operators environment, making our system, the safest in the World, furthermore, by removing the vortex flow of the surrounding air caused by 360 degree rotation dramatically reduces dust and associated pollution.

As the picture below from 'Ram In the News' clearly depicts, the inferior copies of the Rotorcon® container recently commissioned at Riga Universal Ports are already showing signs of degradation due to the poor interface with the container rotator.
