Condition monitoring with i.Sense
The intelligent sensor technology and software i.Sense monitors the condition of the energy chain on the crane around the clock. While heavy loads, long operating times and severe weather mean high loads for Goliath cranes, i.Sense helps to ensure safe operation. In the event of problems, the software can initiate an emergency stop to prevent major damage.

chainfix clamp CFXL
As Goliath cranes often have particularly long travel lengths, they are subject to high loads and forces, especially in the energy supply area. chainfix clamps are used to relieve the heavily stressed cables in the chain. With simple retrofitting, they allow strain relief even for hoses and cables with large diameters.

Energy chain systems instead of festooning, motorised cable reels and busbar systems

Energy chains systems instead of festooning

energy chain system instead of festooning
Protect and safely guide energy chain cables in windy conditions and fluctuating temperatures. Downtimes can be minimised as a result.

More about the festooning alternative

energy chain system instead of motorised cable reel
Without slip ring on long travel distances. Guide all media safely in one system. Travel distances up to 1,000 metres.
