Power feeding line

Flat cable and energy chain power feeding line

The power feeding line ensures a continuous and reliable electrical supply to the overhead crane and hoist throughout all travel movements. It is a key component to secure performance, uptime, and operational safety, whatever the operating conditions.


Flat cable


A flat flexible cable is suspended from trolleys running inside a C-rail. As the hoist/crane travels, the cable folds and unfolds smoothly, ensuring stable power supply along the full travel length. Typical applications are:


  • Single-girder overhead cranes

  • Double-girder overhead cranes

  • Jib cranes

  • Light gantry cranes


Energy chain


Power and control cables are routed inside an energy chain, which guides and protects them throughout the travel motion, providing controlled cable management and enhanced mechanical protection. Typical applications are:


  • Continuous processes

  • Steel mills

  • Automated logistics/distribution centers

  • Installations with high duty cycles

  • Harsh environments
