Light energy chains for straddle carriers

In addition to the reach stacker and empty container handler, straddle carriers are also among the industrial vehicles that ensure efficient container handling at ports. Heavy loads are lifted completely under the driver's cabin, which also results in long travels.
Lightweight energy chains with high robustness and simple modular design help to improve handling, increase safety and keep costs low.

Energy chain systems instead of festooning, motor cable drums and busbars

Energy chains systems instead of festooning Energy chain systems instead of festooning
Provide guidance for cables and energy chains while keeping them protected and safe in wind and fluctuating temperatures. This minimises downtime.
More about the festooning alternative
Energy chain systems instead of motor cable drums Energy chain systems instead of motor cable drums
No slip ring on long travels. Guide all media safely in one system. Travels of up to 1,000 metres.
More about the motor cable drum alternative
Energy chain systems instead of busbar systems Energy chain systems instead of busbar systems
Deliver data, energy, fluids and air safely in a single energy chain system. For narrow compact spaces and fast lane movement.
