Blockages in the travel lengths of cable carriers in large systems can destroy the entire cable carrier system. This results in high costs and downtime for the entire system. The new ECC – Emergency Cable Carrier minimizes downtimes and avoids repair costs.
The new Emergency Cable Carrier System with additional emergency stop system has been developed especially for systems with long travel lengths.
In applications in harsh environmental conditions it often happens that an object gets into the travel length of the carrier and blocks it. What is needed here is a system that detects such blockages and switches the system off.

However, in large systems the moving mass is very large, which means that the moving unit continues to move for several meters even after braking is initiated. This leads to defects in the carrier, a complete failure of the system and extensive repair work. Our new decoupling system for cable carriers offers, in addition to the emergency stop function, also a bridging safeguard for the braking distance. Possible areas of application: all applications with long travel lengths, e.g.: crane, port, compost or coal conveyor systems, steel works and raw materials systems.

 Rail Cable Carrier System – RCC
RCC – our proven system for very long travel lengths. The use of a roller system reduces the forces needed to move the carrier by about 90 % compared to gliding arrangements. The combination of the Rail Cable Carrier system and the new Emergency Cable Carrier System is a very reliable solution even for extremely long travel lengths up to 500 m.

Our new Emergency Cable Carrier System offers, in addition to a bridging safeguard for the braking distance with an emergency carrier also an integrated emergency stop system. The system is switched off if the preset maximum force on the driver of the main cable carrier is exceeded.
If a fault has occurred that has caused emergency braking and decoupling of the system, then after the fault is eliminated all that has to be done is to re-couple the system.
