Cable carriers for container cranes all over the world

Cables and strain relief save a marine application

This marine application was literally held together with tape and ties! We were glad to assist on the redesign of this chain and cable, providing design assistance and lifetime calculations.

The team onsite was using several kinds of tape to keep their operation in production until they contacted igus for information on the best solution. We provided a cost saving package that increased their production and efficiency.

Multiple strain relief options are available

Strain relief to the rescue

igus industry managers were onsite to assist on this project. After reviewing the mechanical and electrical properties necessary for the application, the project was redesigned using proper cables with correct bend radii and added strain relief.

To reduce future down times, the service life calculator was utilized with the specific environmental parameters of the project.

Cables designed for motion in the long term

17,000 trolley hours and still in operation

Longspan RMG with over 17,000 trolley hours

Decreased container throughput as a result of unplanned crane downtime can have significant financial ramifications for terminal operators.

This longspan RMG crane is equipped with a chain and cable that has been active in the field for over six years, clocking 17,000 trolley hours!
