Abstract
A spreader assembly adapted to be attached to containers for raising and lowering the containers in the bay of a straddle carrier is provided herein. The spreader assembly includes a pair of spaced generally parallel beams that extend through openings in a spreader with the spreader being shiftable on the beams. A cable assembly is interposed between the respective beams and a center part of the spreader to limit the longitudinal movement of the spreader with respect to the beams while accommodating transverse movement of the spreader on the beams.
