Dear Customers,
we would like to introduce you to the igus® high tech products for crane business. igus® power chain systems are an alternative to bus bar, festoonings and reel systems.
igus® e-chainsystems® and chainflex® flexible cables are worldwide in operation on more than 10,000 port equipment applications: Ship to Shore Cranes, Bulkhandling Cranes, RTGs, RMGs, Goliath Cranes, Spreaders, Reachstackers etc.
Main benefits for crane builders and crane users are:
Space saving design
No additional drives necessary
No control system necessary
All media can be conveyed: power, data, air, water, etc.
Low maintenance product reduces your downtime
Wind and weather resistant
Synchronous run of trolley and e-chainsystem®
Quick an easy installation of additional cables
No parts marked as reason for wear and tear
Spare part guarantee for 10 years an more
We will gladly provide you with a customer reference in your vicinity for a joint visit. A visit to the igus® factory in Cologne or to one of 27 branch offices can of course also be arranged at any time. Please send us your requested appointment location and we will take care of the rest.
igus® has further enhanced its e-rover, a system that enables automatic coupling and decoupling to/from the energy chain system®.
Reduce drive power for moving energy chains® - with the E4.1 standard kit – E4.1 rol e-chain®
Rise protection, easy to retro-fit When guiding e-chains® on very long travels or in case of highest push/pull forces the igus rise protection gives you more security.
The motor-driven e-spool for long extension lengths up to 25m (50m is possible).
Lower cost, lighter and even easier to assemble – guidelok slimline P
High energy efficiency thanks to low driving forcesand use of lighter e-chains® Conductor cable made of special material CCA
