ABSTRACT:
A device for gripping containers from above, which includes a frame which has a number of corners, twist-locks arranged close to each of the corners of the frame for gripping an upper corner of the containers, and contact elements connected to the frame, which elements are biased to a position located at least partly under the frame and which are adapted to brake the movement of the frame in the vicinity of a container when the frame is placed on the container. The presence of these contact elements allows loads on the frame to be reduced and noise nuisance to be minimized. The contact elements, which may be arranged in or on the frame and may protrude through openings formed in the frame, may be elastically deformable or may be pivotally connected to the frame. Compression springs and/or hydraulic cylinders may be arranged between the frame and the contact elements.
