Cat. 4a, 4b & 4c

Trench Conductor Systems
Trench conductor systems have load factor designed steel cover plates which are opened and closed by a lifting device as the crane moves. All VAHLE conductors can be installed in a trench system. Above-floor systems are available.

Recommended for:
Cranes and bulkhandling equipment in port and shipyard installations.

Cat. 5

Cable Tenders
Cable tenders are a continuous loop, bridge electrification system, especially suited for very high trolley traversing speeds and multiple conductor requirements. Cables or hoses can be installed.

Recommended for:
Container cranes, steel mill and shipyard cranes.

Cat. 7

Cable Festoon Systems (small and medium size)
Festoon systems support flat or round cables and hoses for hydraulic and pneumatic media to mobile equipment. All cable carriers comply with VDE and relevant international regulations. Low duty systems use C-rails or square bar tracks, medium duty systems run on I-beams.

Cat. 8a, 8b, 8bF, 8bR, 8c

Heavy duty and motor driven cable festoon systems
VAHLE festoon systems support flat or round cables (power and control) and hoses for hydraulic and pneumatic media to mobile equipment. The cable carriers run on I-beam tracks. The equipment complies with VDE and relevant international regulations.

For travel speeds exceeding 200 m/min. a range of motorized cable carriers is available.

Cat. 8bF & 8bR

Overload Protection
Overload protection systems are used to avoid overloading of material handling equipment. Options with measuring amplifier and load displays are available.

Cat. 9b

S M G - Data Communication System
The SMG (Slotted Microwave Guide) is highly suitable for data communication up to 10 Mbps. Multi-channel function offers the possibility of simultaneous transmission of data, video, voice, and E-stop.
