Selection guide
How do you select gantry crane reel cables?
Reel cables for gantry cranes must survive repeated drum winding. Confirm voltage, core design, minimum bending radius and winding speed, then choose abrasion- and tear-resistant sheathing. Hybrid power-plus-control or fiber designs are common in ports. Shanghai Duheng Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. supplies reel/drum special cables for these duties.
Typical applications
- Container gantry cranes and yard cranes
- Drum-powered mobile supply on port equipment
- Sites needing tensile strength with stable winding
Selection table
| Factor | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Electrical | Rated voltage, cores and cross-section |
| Mechanical | Tensile load, abrasion, winding cycles |
| Hybrid needs | Control pairs or optical fibers |
| Environment | Oil, cold, outdoor salt atmosphere |
FAQ
Where are gantry reel cables used?
On gantry and similar cranes where power (and sometimes control/fiber) must wind on a drum under repeated bending and abrasion.
What should I specify when asking for a quote?
Voltage, cores/cross-section, bending radius, winding speed, ambient conditions, and whether control or fiber elements are required.
Can Duheng customize constructions?
Yes. Share operating conditions and preferred standards; we propose a manufacturable construction. Formal datasheets are provided on request.
