Kabelschlepp adding value through innovation

The properties of durable special GRP material introduced into its chain links allows for long unsupported travel, producing a chain with high torsion rigidity that allows for high speed travel and acceleration, yet is easy to maintain. In addition, cross stays and clips made from a flexible plastic allow quick and easy maintenance and cable access without the need for tools.

Explaining that steel, stainless steel and plastic materials provide different advantages, Kabelschlepp believes that materials can be combined to produce hybrid carriers, such as combining GRP plastic chain bands with aluminum stays.

“It is the application that determines the proposal for a specific cable carrier and the materials used. Our customers have a choice,” explains Marcus Richards, the company’s engineering manager.
