Robust energy supply systems and cables for heavy-duty offshore cranes

For rotary cranes and gantry cranes on ships and offshore installations, we offer energy supply systems, cables, and trough systems that can also be designed as a complete system ready for connection. The E4.1 series plastic energy chains or heavy-duty roller energy chains are used on riser gantry cranes, which exceed festoon systems and steel energy chains primarily because of their corrosion-free operation and cable-friendly interior separation. A cable-friendly friction pair between the energy chain and the cable results in a greatly extended service life for the cables and the system.
For rotary cranes, an RBR rotating energy supply can be used instead of the usual slip rings. This solution provides modularity and freedom from maintenance. The rotary module features downtimes and maintenance intervals for the entire system that are up to 90% better than those of festooning systems and slip rings.

Wind farm installation cranes (LEC)

Rotating energy supply systems and cables, including accessories for leg encircling cranes (LECs): This heavy-duty rotary crane from Liebherr features an energy chain that allows a rotating range of 900°.

Gantry crane

For this gantry crane on a drilling vessel, a complete energy supply system consisting of plastic energy chains, guide trough and chainflex cables was implemented.

Sheerleg cranes

Heavy cable weights and long travels. "Heavy duty" energy chains for high additional loads provide high planning reliability for cable guidance on two sheerleg cranes.

Knuckle boom cranes

In the platform of this knuckle-boom crane on a pipe-laying vessel, a rotary module with a compactly laid energy supply system was implemented. It safely guides the data and signal cables and hydraulic lines.
