Successfully in use in steel works

In these customer applications, our energy chain systems have been running reliably for many years despite harsh environmental conditions:

Energy chain in glowing heat in a crane in metal processing plant

In this indoor crane application in metal processing, an increasingly failing festooning system has been replaced by a reliably operating e-chain.
