Cranes applications

Foremost advantage for builders and users of cranes:

  • Space-saving design
  • No additional drives required
  • No control system required
  • Any medium can be transmitted: Energy, data, air, water, etc.
  • Low maintenance cycles minimize the downtimes
  • Resistant to wind and water

  • Crane system

    Cranes on the chain - Energy supply system in heavy duty use since 12 years.

    In the crane system, the requirements on the operating safety are especially high due to the long travels. Expensive shut downs and downtimes must be avoided in any case.

    In crane construction, energy supply systems frequently prove their technical and economic strengths. Flexibility, variability and a space-saving installation are only some of the most important criteria.

    Roof structure

    Thanks to the construction with E-Chains® in the thermal spas in Bad Wörishofen, about 100 meters of cable could be saved and the weight of the roof was reduced.

    Crane track

    All energy chains systems installed in a channel in the floor were equipped with stainless steel guide troughs. The travel distances of these cranes amount up to 500 m.

    Coal-fired power plant

    E-ChainSystem® for a coal unloader. Operating since three years without any problem.

    Coal-fired power plant    

    Steel works

    Extremely difficult conditions: Dirt and dust, heavy filling, long travel and high temperatures. The system functions since 2003.

    Ship loader

    Since the ship loader started operations in 2000, no troubles, either mechanical or in the cables, have occurred in the energy chain area.

    Two-girder bridge crane

    With the perfectly fitting energy supplysystem for this crane system, the overalldimension for the installation was considerablyreduced.

    Boat cranes

    iglidur® plastic plain bearings in cranes used in commercial and private marinas and also by private boat owners to haul the boats out of the water.

    Boat cranes    

    Maintenance-free operation for 8 years

    The energy chain employed in 2000 runs smoothly.

    Maintenance-free operation for 8 years    

    Indoor and outdoor cranes

    Outdoor cranes must withstand severe weather conditions. Even indoor cranes work under ever-changing humidity conditions together with very high temperatures.
