Jib cranes are often needed when the load lift of relatively small loads on mostly short travels does not justify the use of overhead cranes.
For the cable guidance, energy chains are a good choice, as they are quick to install and require little installation space on the crane girder. While trailing cables can often hang down a long way on the crane girder when it is closed, the e-chain can increase operational safety thanks to its compact type. Combined with our chainflex cables for moving applications energy and data can be guided reliably.
We can also do the cable guidance on the jib crane for the trolley or the control system ensure a travel length of up to 10m .
And with supplementary sensors on the energy chain can optionally monitor the condition of the cable guidance to detect problems early on and, in an emergency, to quickly warn of a failure.
