Cable routing for lifting devices on indoor / EOT cranes

Jens Göbel | 26. June 2020

The lift band was specially developed for vertical applications on indoor / EOT cranes. A spiral energy chain that can be stored in a collecting basket. The cables are routed through the spiral energy chain without being exposed to any tensile stress. The retainer belts attached to the system ensure that the energy chain is safely stored in the special basket. The system is light, requires very little space on the lifting device and it is almost maintenance-free.

e-spool – the alternative to the cable drum on an indoor crane

Jens Göbel | 21. April 2020

The e-spool is a chain-based drum application without sliding contacts. Ideal for applications and load-carrying equipment constructions that have no room for a collection basket (lift strap). The cables guided in the chain are not exposed to tensile strain, which has a positive effect on the service life of the cables.
