Lighter, smaller, more diverse: the requirements for cables in cranes.

Digitalization and automation are also advancing in cranes and conveyor systems. Many port facilities run fully automatically and are increasing the speeds at which goods have to be shipped and unloaded due to ever shorter turnaround times. For the cabling used, this means that they have to provide an increasing number of functions while withstanding environmental influences such as widely fluctuating temperatures, high conveying speeds and aggressive, salty air.

Cranes and conveyor systems place extreme demands on power and data cables. It is not uncommon for arm-thick cables to have to be wound up and unwound from drums and cable trolleys at a rate of several meters per second. Due to increasing digitization, hybrid cables are needed that can withstand harsh external conditions over the long term and still safely transport large amounts of data. We have the know-how and broad portfolio to always offer the right solution.
