Drag chains and cables for long travels in shipyards
Shipyard cranes are mostly huge systems that can lift huge lifting loads and must always work reliably. At the same time, the space available in the shipyards is usually very tight. The requirements for cable guidance therefore lie in systems that are as space-optimized and at the same time powerful as possible, which safely master long travels. In order to achieve this top performance, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of energy chains, cables, guide troughs and complementary accessories.

Roller energy chain replaces cable tender on Goliath crane
For this 900t shipyard crane, the operator previously relied on a cable tender system to route the cables to the trolleys. Since the tension on the cables led to high maintenance requirements over time, the decision was made to replace them with an energy chain system. Since then, two heavy duty roller energy chains of the 5050RHD series have been in use.
Energy supply at 61kg/m cable weight
