Swap your festooning for an e-chainsystem® and save in energy supply and cables!
On festooning systems, cables "hang" around free and loose on cranes in the wind and weather. Unprotected, festoon systems are exposed to fluctuating temperatures plus sand and salt (on outdoor installations). They can also easily get tangled, which then quickly leads to hold-ups. igus® offers a secure and modular alternative to festooning systems in cranes, with which you can save cables and avoid downtimes.
We compared e-chainsystems® and festoon systems in a 100m installation:
Shorter cable lengths / Space-saving design:
)
Secure guidance of cables in the e-chain®:
Festoon:
Cables hang uncontrollably and can get caught in the crane structure (e.g. due to wind).
igus® e-chainsystem®:
Cables are securely guided in the e-chain® and cannot get caught at any point.
Secure strain relief with igus® clamps:
Festoon:
Strain relief with steel ropes.
igus® e-chainsystem®:
double strain relief with CFY clamps.

All the benefits of igus® energy supply solutions for crane systems at a glance:
Approximately 50% less cable compared to festoon
no extra mechanical load on the cable
the cables are always guided with a bending radius defined at all times
secure in the guide trough
almost maintenance free
savings on steel construction
everything in one system
No additional drives and controls (roller chains reduce the required push/pull forces by about 75%!)
Trolley speeds of up to 10m/s and travel distances of up to 800m
