Ports, Terminals & Container Handling

Container cranes, stackers and spreaders run continuously, and cable replacement is a scheduled intervention that costs throughput. The cables that last in this duty share features: a torsion-balanced core for reel winding, an abrasion-resistant jacket that survives contact with steel, and a compact composite construction that puts power, control and bus data in one run instead of three cables to maintain.

What usually governs cable life here

The requirement that decides how long the cable lasts in this installation — and therefore what we change in the construction.

• Winding-cycle life matched to the drum and travel length
• High tear and abrasion resistance on the jacket
• Combined power, control and screened bus cores in one cable
• Salt-spray resistance for seaward installations
