ABSTRACT:
Two spreaders are liftable by a crane apparatus and are provided with coupling devices for attachment to cargo containers, and separate latching devices to couple the spreaders to each other, end-to-end and slightly spaced apart. The length of each spreader is the same as the length of a shorter cargo container to be handled. The total length of the two spreaders, including the spacing, is the same as the length of a longer (double-size) container. When coupled together, the spreaders are used to lift and place either two of the shorter containers together or one longer container. Containers of different heights can also be handled.
