Two pairs of twist locks (3) are arranged in each end of the spreader, the twist locks of each pair having a fixed lateral distance (a) and the pairs of twist locks being laterally movable and controlled for adjustment of a lateral distance (b) between the pairs of twist locks. A method for processing two containers in side by side relation in a single lowering/lifting step, and for adjustment of a lateral distance and/or lateral, relative angle between the two containers during transfer and lowering to release the containers in side by side relation. |
