English term or phrase: sink
For the twin lift cylinders, see:

Working pressures - protective devices:
During spreader standby, when the motor is running, the minimum working pressure is sufficient to keep the housings pressed upward.
If the spreader is not in use, the leakage via the piston rings and the overflow valves used, will allow the cylinder to run out (sink). However, when the spreader is switched on, they will always move immediately in an upward direction.

Twin up/down: twin lift housings sink
If it is out of use, the large number of non-return valves and safety devices mean that sinking of the housings becomes unavoidable.

Only for Twinlift
For a twinlift spreader:
- The twin construction and the up-down housings of the twin-twistlocks move very close to each other, with a lot of holes for maintenance.
- During maintenance activities inside the housings, the electric motor must be stopped. If the twin-twistlocks are in up-position, the housings will probably sink down very slowly.
