Abstract
The guide device for craning a container has guides so arranged that they can be moved vertically by a raising/lowering device mounted on the spreader body and can be positioned at the corners of the spreader. The guides are lowered by the raising/lowering device and secured to the bottom corners of the container held by the spreader. Then the spread parts of the guides project from the lower end of the container to secure the spreader to the container. The structure of the spreader is simple and the weight is light.
