Robust energy chains and guide trough with ascent guard for 1500-ton shipyard crane

Since 2008, two roller chains have been running on 122m travel to supply the trolleys

Profile

  • What was needed: Heavy Duty 5050RHD series roller energy chain
  • Requirements: The permanently safe cable guidance on 122m travel, at 18kg/m cable weight. Avoiding the rearing up of the energy chain due to the high thrust forces.
  • Industry: Crane industry
  • Success for the customer: The robust 5050 RHD chains, which have been in operation since 2008, are optimally equipped for the high cable weights and long travel distances. An anti-rise protection integrated in the guide trough prevents the energy chains from standing up.
