Energy chains for single-girder travelling cranes

Single-girder travelling cranes or single-girder gantry cranes are particularly flexible types of cranes that ensure the lifting and transport of heavy loads, especially in warehouses or production halls.
Due to the wide range of applications of the systems, a tailor-made energy supply solution is required depending on the application. Our energy chains, guide troughs and cables are also designed for subsequent quick installation, a quiet process and the smallest bend radii.

Smart condition monitoring systems | i.Sense

The intelligent i.Sense sensor system and software monitors the condition of the energy chain on the crane around the clock. While heavy loads, long operating times and severe weather mean high loads for STS cranes, i.Sense helps to ensure operational safety. In the event of problems, the software can initiate an emergency stop to prevent major damage.

Aluminium SuperTroughs

Guide troughs are used for long travels, from 5 - 12m, depending on the type of chain, and support the smooth, low-friction operation of the energy chains. The Aluminium SuperTroughs consist of a corrosion-free and seawater-resistant aluminium profile. They also allow very easy and universal assembly.
