Zusammenfassung:The invention concerns a spreader (10) suitable for use with various types of transport unit, such as containers (1), swap bodies (2) or articulated trailers, and fitted with first and second attachment fixtures (twistlocks (3) and grippers (8)) sized to suit the particular type of transport unit. The lift height of the spreader when changing from one transport unit to another is considerably reduced by virtue of the fact that not only can the grippers (8) on their grip arms (5) be raised and lowered, relative to the spreader cross-beam (7), between the gripping position and a retracted position but also the height of the twistlocks (3) can be adjusted relative to the cross-beam (7, 7') by means of support arms (9) between a gripping position and a retracted position.
