TRENCH CONDUCTOR SYSTEMS

VAHLE trench conductor systems are being manufactured since 1925. They have proven an outstanding success for safe power feeding of dockside cranes, loading bridges, container handling equipment etc. The trench conductor system is installed in parallel to the crane rail, below or above ground and suitable up to 20 kV.

Other Systems

FK-System: The heavy duty steel enclosed conductor system represents a unique arrangement of Vahle Copperhead conductor rails up to 200 mm². The FK - system is a real space saving unit because the collector trolley does not require an extra runway. It is carried on insulated plastic rollers and guided on the copperheads of the conductor rails. The collectors are arranged between the insulated plastic rollers.
Typical Application: Heavy OHT cranes or gantry cranes for outdoor use with high dusting.
Crashproof-System: A combination of a guide rail with integrated conductors for harbour cranes. The surface mounted housing serves as border of the quay and is placed adjacent to the seaside crane rail.
