When a gantry crane manufacturer's festoon systems were failing due to corrosion, the company switched to igus Energy Chains cable carriers on its gantry cranes.

The chain system is mounted horizontally on each machine where it guides and protects more than 75m of power cables. The cable carriers are said to deliver a long service life even in the dusty, humid environment found in paper mills, coping with ambient temperatures that can peak at 50°C, and with up to 100% humidity.

Chains have openable crossbars for easy access to the cables.
