Maintenance-free and cost-effective

The company Agrobot from Spain relies on the easy chain energy chains for this harvester as they are maintenance-free and cost-effective.

Easy to assemble and space-saving

e-chains of the E2/000 series are used in the movable roof of a hall in the thermal spa in Bad Wörishofen. Thanks to the construction with e-chains, about 100m of cable could be saved, and the weight of the roof was reduced.

In use for decades

E4.80 energy chains are used in stone sawing plants. They are particularly strong and resistant to dirt, and absorb high loads.
