Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co Ltd (SWS) is based in the southern harbour of the Pudong area of Shanghai, at the mouth of the Yangtze River, directly opposite the Changxingdao port area. The Chinese shipbuilder SWS is one of the ten largest in the world. There are currently three shipyard cranes in operation in this huge industrial area, which are the size of 30-storey skyscrapers. The energy and data supply to the gigantic lifting elements is realised via energy chain systems made of plastic from igus®.
"Since its delivery, the cable carrier system from igus® has been running smoothly and has required only minimal maintenance. We have made huge savings in labour and materials."
Zhang Quan, conductor of the development department at SWS
SWS is also very satisfied with the ongoing on-site consultation provided by igus®. Zhang Quan: "The service engineers contact us regularly to find out about the functionality of the system." To save the capacity and costs of its own warehousing, SWS keeps almost no igus® spare parts in stock. They can be found in all sizes in the 3,000 m2 igus® warehouse in the Waigaoquiao free trade zone, just 20 kilometres from where the cranes are used. Zhang Quan: "If we need something, all we have to do is call igus® or send an e-mail."
