Energy supply systems for intermodal cranes

Heavy or light loads, long or short travel distances, focus on robust, lightweight or low-noise energy chains:
Intermodal cranes combine a wide variety of crane types, all of which bring their own exciting challenges to a cable solution. In order to meet all requirements, we offer a broad portfolio of energy chains and cables.
Whether rail-mounted gantry cranes (RTG), reach stackers, empty container handlers or spreaders - with our broad service portfolio of energy chains and cables, you will find the right solution for your application.

Rail-mounted cranes (RMG)

Sophisticated smart plastics solutions for rail-mounted (RMG) cranes

Reach stacker

Low-maintenance chain systems for the telescopic arms of reach stackers

Empty container handlers

Lightweight, low-maintenance energy chains for empty container handlers

Spreader

Space-saving and low-maintenance energy supply solutions for spreaders

Energy chain systems instead of festooning
Provide guidance for cables and energy chains while keeping them protected and safe in wind and fluctuating temperatures. This minimises downtime.

Energy chain systems instead of motor cable drums
No slip ring on long travels. Guide all media safely in one system. Travels of up to 1,000 metres.

Energy chain systems instead of busbar systems
Deliver data, energy, fluids and air safely in a single energy chain system. For narrow compact spaces and fast lane movement.

Fail-safe and quiet

Since this container crane is located alone at a terminal and in the immediate vicinity of a residential area, the energy chain used must be particularly quiet and reliable.

Exceptionally compact energy supply

A very compact energy chain and the chainflex cables guided in it travel 34.2 metres at a speed of 120m/min and an acceleration of 0.7m/s².
