This is to ensure a uniform braking effect and thereby extend the service life of the braking system. The upper part of the fifth wheel should always be well lubricated before the HAMMAR is connected. Reverse the truck and check that the king pin engages and is correctly positioned.
HAMMAR and the truck shall be disconnected. Crank down the parking legs until the HAMMAR almost lifts from the fifth wheel. If the ground is soft, support pads should be used. Release the lock on the fifth wheel and carefully drive the truck away.
When the HAMMAR is uncoupled from the truck the trailer is emergency braked; this applies only as long as there is air in the HAMMAR air reservoirs. If the air pressure is lost the parking brake (spring brakes) will automatically be applied.
HAMMAR and the container, as this enables you to take advantage of the full lifting capacity of the HAMMAR. The HAMMAR should stand on firm, level ground. If the ground is not sufficiently firm, support pads of appropriate size and strength should be placed beneath the stabiliser legs.
Also ensure that the crane's position along with the trailer is correct in relation to the container size. OPERATION When the HAMMAR is in operation, position yourself in such a way that you have a good overall view of the working area. Normally, the best place to stand is behind the rear end of the HAMMAR.
To switch between these modes, use the button on the left side of the handset. This button must be pushed in, to enable you to operate the HAMMAR (dead man’s switch). When the button is released, all functions will stop.
Radio remote control gives the driver greater freedom to move around the container and the sideloader.

Version 10/2023GB ADJUSTMENT TO DIFFERENT CONTAINER SIZES The HAMMAR can be adjusted in various ways depending upon the cranes, trailer, and extra equipment. Certain models are equipped with movable cranes which can be slid lengthwise on the chassis for the handling of differing container sizes.
5.3.5 A-ADVANCED A three-part chassis where both cranes are movable, which makes it possible to optimize the load distribution on the HAMMAR. Adjustment between the various positions is carried out in the same way as for the C-trailer. Ensure that the chassis is correctly locked on both sides before the HAMMAR is driven away.
Version 10/2023GB 5.3.6 D-DOUBLE A HAMMAR with the designation D has a fifth wheel at the rear to enable it to tow a trailer. On some markets the trailer is equipped with a lamp located on the side protection which indicates that the rear fifth wheel is in locked or unlocked position.
User Manual Version 10/2023GB A Gooseneck HAMMAR is equipped with detachable twist lock towers which can be fitted to the fixed mounted twist locks to facilitate the transportation of containers without a gooseneck tunnel. 20 'high- cube containers can be placed behind the trailer neck.
User Manual Version 10/2023GB 5.3.8.1 PARK THE CLIP-ON SUBFRAME The clip-on subframe may only be parked when it is unloaded, nor to be subjected to load when it is parked. Use extreme caution when parking and assembling the unit. The unit may only be used for lifting when it is mounted on a carrier vehicle.
User Manual Version 10/2023GB If the unit has been parked for a long period it is recommended to inspect frame, cranes and lifting equipment before use. 5.3.8.3 HANDLING THE CLIP-ON SUBFRAME WITH FORKLIFT The clip-on subframe is provided with forklift pockets to enable handling of it with a forklift. It is at these occasions important to use a forklift that safely can handle the load of the unit.
For the safe handling of loads it is important that the stabiliser legs are correctly placed. On the HAMMAR there is a load chart showing the weight of the load in relation to the position of the load and the location of the support legs. Generally, strive to have both stabiliser legs at maximum outreach as this is the best position for a stable and safe operation.
This is not applicable on model 110, 160 and 155, the support leg on these models must instead be folded out to a certain angle. Otherwise, it will not be possible to perform the lift.
The stabiliser legs must rest firmly on the trailer/railway wagon without the possibility of slipping off or in any other way moving out of position. It is also of the greatest importance that the trailer/wagon structure is strong enough to carry the extra load from the HAMMAR stabiliser legs. 6.1.3 MODEL 155-MEGA TRANSFER As an option model 15 can be equipped with the Mega Transfer leg on one of the cranes or both.
Page 48
User Manual Version 10/2023GB Hammar standard: Extend the Mega Transfer until it rests safely. On the non-lifting side of the crane base, there is a switch to override the leg sensors, making it possible to proceed with the lifting maneuver.

User Manual Version 10/2023GB Hook Leg Override switch (Hammar std) Middle Leg Override button (Hammar Safety+) Override to proceed with the lifting maneuver in shadowed position or when resting on another trailer. Note the reduced lifting capacity depending on how far out the hook leg is supported.
6.1.4 MODEL 110 Model 110 consist of two parts, middle leg, and hook leg. The design allows the stabiliser legs to be used in three ways. Stabiliser function may differ depending on type of control/safety system. The Mega Transfer usage allows the stabiliser legs to reach the ground on the other side of the trailer/rail wagon that shall be loaded/unloaded.
Version 10/2023GB HAMMAR SAFETY HOOK The HAMMAR safety hook is designed in such a way that it always hangs backwards when it is not attached to any corner fitting. This prevents it from accidentally hooking onto the trailer frame, for example.
Fold the upper and lower arms completely. o Retract the stabiliser legs completely. o Lock the container locks. When the lift is finished the crane arms and legs should be in its transport position, then the HAMMAR is ready for transport. •...
Stabilisers are packed away in the transport position. 6.3.2 UNLOADING CONTAINER (WITH CHAINS) o Park the HAMMAR next to the place, trailer, or railway carriage where/on which the container is going to be unloaded. o Check that the ground is suitable. If required, use support plates.
Uncouple the suspension chain, front and back. Hang the chains on the upper arms of the HAMMAR. o Extend the lower arms so that the load axle is in front of the center of the container. The spreader should rest on the container and the spreader twist locks should be in the corner fittings.
STACKING OF CONTAINERS A HAMMAR equipped with stacking capability is designated H in the model number. Stacking of one container on top of another may only be performed with a HAMMAR which bears this designation. When stacking, the permitted lifting capacity is reduced, see sheet entitled “Your HAMMAR”. Always use the extra stabiliser leg on the side opposite to lifting when stacking.
When the bottom of the container is level with the HAMMAR twist locks, retract the lower arm of the crane which stands lowest to move the end of the container in over the HAMMAR.
User Manual Version 10/2023GB o Carefully lower it onto the twist locks. Use the same procedure in reverse when unloading in a slope. Something to consider when operating on a slope, particularly when handling tank containers, is that the displacement of the load may start the container swinging. Also, pay attention to the chains on the lowest standing crane and make sure that they do not become caught in any way.
PTO (the power take off) is engaged and are locked when the PTO is disconnected. If the HAMMAR is provided with the PowerPack option, the locks are opened and closed when its ignition is turned on and off. For more information about operating the PowerPack see separate Chapter.
(9’6”, 2896 mm). Option available on certain models. HAMMAR MEGA REACH The HAMMAR is provided with an extension of the upper arms, to be able to place one or two containers in a second row, that is to say behind the first row of containers.

2X20' This option makes it possible to handle two 20' containers in the same operation. The beam comes in different designs, depending on model and other geometry of the HAMMAR. Container's maximum weight must not exceed 14 metric tons each.
Page 63
User Manual Version 10/2023GB Container adjustment This operation must be performed in work area. Perform this operation with the utmost caution. Before the operation is started, assess that the conditions are OK. If the distance between the containers is too great so that the twin hooks are unable to lock in, lift one or both containers a bit from the ground, so that the top container corner boxes touch each other.
7.9.2 CRANE 130 As an option, Hammar 130 can have 2x20’ lift. Normally is a 2x20´ lift allowed with a weight of 14t in each container. However, on the crane 130 are max allowed weight for each container 8t. The limiting factor in this case is the cranes SWL (Safe Working Load).
Page 65
User Manual Version 10/2023GB Secondly lower the rear twist lock on the middle crane (both sides). Connect the Twin lock on the two 20´ containers placed on the ground. Two sets of Twin locks must be used, one on each side. Lift and place the containers on the trailer.
Page 66
User Manual Version 10/2023GB We recommend to first place the front container on the front twist lock on the middle crane. Then place the other end on the container front and rear on the twist locks. The cranes could be operated one at a time to make this easier.

HAMMARN comply with the laws relating to the carriage of dangerous goods ADR in Europe. To run ADR goods the combination must have ADR approval, even the tractor. On other markets the HAMMAR can be adapted to local regulations regarding transport of dangerous goods. 7.12 HAMMAR SAFETY+ HAMMAR Safety+ is an advanced PLC-monitored safety system, which further enhances safety when lifting.
Page 69
This means that the operator cannot use functions which may result in the HAMMAR overturning. 2. Restriction of the HAMMAR handling area: for example, the system prevents stacking if the load mass exceeds the maximum permitted weight for stacking. The system also prevents handling in areas which may be dangerous, for example handling on the non-lifting side of the HAMMAR.
