OFFERING OF STEVENEL
AUTOMATED PULP UNIT HANDLING ATTACHMENTS
Automated pulp handling solutions are designed to improve efficiency, safety and cost-effectiveness in port and terminal operations. By automating the lifting, gripping and releasing of pulp units, modern systems significantly reduce manual work and increase loading speed.
We offer unique and patented way of fully automated handling of pulp units. Our automated pulp spreaders can be mounted on fully hydraulic, MHC, wire rope -cranes.
Spreaders can be powered by hydraulics or electricity from the crane. Spreader capacity can be adjusted from 2-20 pulp units/lift, depending on the size of operation and crane capacity. Catching takes place on the wires on top of the pulp units. With our semi-automated spreaders catching of the unit wires is done manually, and releasing is automated. Typically, semi-automated spreaders are installed on MHC- cranes and onboard vessel cranes.
WHAT IS AUTOMATED PULP HANDLING?
Automated pulp handling refers to the use of specialized lifting attachments and spreaders that enable fully or semi-automated handling of pulp units in ports, terminals and pulp mills. These systems are typically integrated with hydraulic or mobile harbour cranes and are designed to handle multiple pulp units per lift.

APPLICATIONS OF AUTOMATED PULP HANDLING
Industries and Applications
- Ports and terminals: Automated pulp handling solutions are widely used in ports and terminals where large volumes of pulp cargo are loaded, unloaded and transferred efficiently.
- Pulp mills: Automated spreaders can support efficient pulp handling between production, storage and transportation stages within the pulp logistics chain.
- Vessel loading and unloading: Automated pulp handling helps improve loading efficiency, operational safety and cargo flow during vessel loading and unloading operations.
Pulp Logistics Chain
Pulp products are handled multiple times throughout the logistics chain before reaching their final destination. Automated pulp handling solutions help improve efficiency, safety and reliability at every stage of the process.
Typical pulp handling operations may include:
- Loading pulp at the pulp mill
- Mill port operations
- Export port handling
- Intermediate hub port operations
- Receiving port operations
- Storage and stock management
- Transportation by railway wagons, trucks and river barges
- Loading and unloading of feeder vessels and overseas vessels
- Container handling
- Road and river transport connections to paper mills
Automated pulp handling systems help streamline loading, unloading and cargo transfer operations throughout the pulp logistics chain while reducing manual handling requirements, improving operational productivity and supporting safer cargo handling processes.
PULP HANDLING FAQ
Automated pulp handling can improve operational efficiency, increase productivity and enhance workplace safety. Automation also helps reduce cargo damage risks and supports faster loading and unloading operations. By automating repetitive handling tasks, terminals and operators can achieve more consistent and reliable cargo handling processes.
Stevenel’s pulp spreaders can be configured to handle between 2 and 20 pulp units in a single lift, depending on the spreader model, crane capacity and operational requirements. The lifting capacity is selected according to the customer’s handling process and performance targets.
Yes. Stevenel offers pulp spreaders that can be installed on Mobile Harbour Cranes (MHC).
In a fully automated pulp handling system, the gripping and releasing of pulp units is automated, minimizing operator involvement during the handling process. In a semi-automated system, some handling functions remain under operator control while key operations are automated. Both solutions are designed to improve handling efficiency and operational safety compared to traditional handling methods.
Automated pulp handling systems are commonly used in ports, terminals, pulp mills and cargo handling operations where large volumes of pulp products are loaded, unloaded or transferred. The solutions are designed for demanding operating environments where efficiency, reliability and safe handling are essential.
A pulp spreader is a specialized lifting attachment designed for handling pulp units in ports, terminals and industrial facilities. Automated pulp spreaders improve handling efficiency, reduce manual operations and support safe cargo handling processes.
Automated pulp handling systems help improve pulp load operations by increasing handling efficiency, reducing manual intervention and minimizing the risk of cargo damage. Automated and semi-automated pulp spreaders support faster loading and unloading processes while improving operational safety in ports and terminals.
Pulp cargo handling refers to the loading, unloading, lifting and transportation of pulp products in ports, terminals and industrial facilities. Automated pulp handling solutions help improve efficiency, safety and reliability when handling pulp cargo throughout the logistics chain.What is pulp cargo handling?
Automation improves pulp cargo handling by reducing manual operations, increasing loading and unloading efficiency and supporting safer handling processes. Automated pulp spreaders help terminals and port operators move pulp cargo more efficiently while minimizing the risk of cargo damage.
