Examples of successful applications in the crane industry

Port Cranes

Heavy loads, long periods of use, and a wide variety of weather ­­conditions – cranes in port facilities must perform at their best. And that is exactly where our energy chains and flexible cables are being used. They have proven themselves for years in over 10,000 ports with their corrosion-free, maintenance-free materials offering a long service life. The fields of application include, among others, ship-to-shore cranes, bulk cargo handling cranes, RTGs, RMGs, Goliath cranes, spreaders and reach stackers. Wherever safety must be ensured and there is pressure to meet deadlines, e-chains® are a reliable, quiet alternative to busbar systems, festooning and cable drums.

Indoor cranes

They have been designed for the overhead moving of loads within a building, such as in production and assembly areas: gantry cranes. Short downtimes, low maintenance requirements and the functional reliability of the system are important from an economic point of view, but also with regard to occupational safety. Our energy supply systems have been developed for different operating conditions, but also for the various standards of the international markets. They are designed in an optimal way, as a complete system or individual component, and with a predictable service life.

Shipyard cranes

Shipyard cranes are usually characterized by their high load capacities and long travels of the trolleys, which can easily reach up to 200m in length. With heavy cable weights, the energy chains must always work reliably and protect the routed cables. At the same time, compact and space-saving solutions are also in demand in shipyards in particular. To meet these requirements, we offer our customers a comprehensive portfolio of heavy duty energy chains, cables and guide troughs for long travels and heavy weights.

Bulk handling cranes

Bulk handling cranes place extreme demands on cable solutions in many respects: while the travels for the transport of bulk goods often reach several 100 meters in length, all components must withstand outdoor weather conditions throughout the year. But also, the high level of dirt and dust during transport of, for e.g., ores, sand or gravel require energy chains with high robustness, corrosion resistance, maintenance-free and long service life.
