Mobile SPO (shore power outlet) with the igus® e-chain® reel
move power … protect power … gain flexibility
SPOs (shore power outlet) used to be installed as fixed outlets into the quay, which are limiting the connection range. The e-chain® reel system is a mobile shore power connection system that enables ports to gain the necessary flexibility for different vessel types and sizes.
System:
- Motorized e-chain® reel that spools a special igus® energy chain
- Special energy chain with roller inserts, attached to the chain becomes the mobile SPO
- The e-chain® with mobile SPO can be deployed with existing port equipment or a winch
- The e-chain® protects and manage the cable not to lie exposed on the terminal
- The system is fully integrated into the overall safety procedure
Portable system
- Can be connected to any stationary SPO
- With hoist for handling heavy cables
- Extended length of 164 -197 ft
Permanently installed system
- Install mobile SPOs instead of stationary SPOs directly
- Also possible in very constricted installation spaces
- Extended length of 246-328 ft
Advantages:
- Different vessel types can be connected at any time
- Expensive medium-voltage cables are protected against abrasion and other outside influences
- Easy handling and increased occupational safety: The mobile SPO is driven to the connection point, heavy
- Cables do not have to be laboriously dragged to the stationary SPO on the quay
- Increased safety, longer service life and lower costs
Develop your terminal for the future. Profit from igus® long standing experience in the maritime sector.
