CAN-D-Flex® Festoon Systems
Our standard CAN-D-Flex® Festoon Cable Systems are designated to deliver power and control to mobile equipment that has a reciprocal motion. The performance and flexibility of these systems has resulted in their expansion from powering overhead cranes and hoists to now include alternate applications, such as, Jib and Gantry Cranes, Car Shakers, Plating and Cleaning Llines, Monorails, and Welding Equipment to mention a few.
Our standard electrical systems utilize multi-conductor electric cables constructed in a flat configuration, with the conductors totally enclosed in a tough, flexible, bright yellow PVC jacket. The flat cables allow many conductors to be mounted using minimal space, and their design minimizes bending stress, making them the optimum choice for festoon applications. Round electrical cable, air hoses, hydraulic hoses, and even water hoses can also be used with this system.
The four basic CAN-D-Flex® systems are 14 Guage Galvanized C-Track, Heavy Duty Aluminum T-Track, I-Beam Trolley and Tag-Line Systems. All are inherently safe, with no exposed electrical surfaces, and are ideally suited for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Our I-BEAM Festoon Trolleys are designed and constructed to fit varying S-Beam sizes with their adjustable chassis. They are made of steel with a bright zinc finish. They utilize bolt-on wheels for easy changeability if or when they need replacing. With a maximum speed of 90m/min., the four-wheel trolley has a maximum rolling load rating of 100kg. The S-Beam trolleys are ideally used on monorails to transport electric cables or air hoses. Our S-Beam trolleys can be ordered with a variety of flat cable, round cable or hose saddles. |
