e-tract cable retraction system

E-mobility made simple. For tidiness at the charging station.

e-tract is a solution for automatically rewinding a cable. This prevents hazards and cable damage caused by improper rewinding or cables lying in the way. e-tract is used in applications where a mobile end device is connected to a cable and was previously only reeled up by hand. Thanks to multiple deflections, long pull-out lengths are possible in a small installation space. There is no need for a slip ring.

Typical areas of application:
Control panels, tools on assembly lines and work tables, power charging stations

Technical improvements in the e-tract 2.1

Significantly less space required thanks to new technology. The new roller cages make the e-tract 2.1 approx. 25% smaller than its predecessor.

Reduction in the required cable length and installation space with the same extension length
Hinged crossbar prevents the cable from jumping off or "tangling" and enables quick and easy insertion and replacement of the charging cable
Integrated wallbox (11 kW)
