Even One-sided can be Multifaceted:
The New KabelSkate Single with Only One Chain.


KabelSkate, our system for particularly long travel lengths, has proven itself for years. Travel lengths exceeding 500 m are possible. So far, the system used to consist of two opposite chains and a supporting carriage. Rollers arranged between the upper trough and lower trough drastically reduce the friction. A sort of trolley takes on the job of keeping the rollers at a distance and in position. Roll instead of sliding – the intelligent principle for less friction.

KabelSkate Single manages with only one cable carrier. A design with a curved deflection makes this possible. The chain is led through the deflecting curve and thus holds the trolley in position. For moving the cable carriers, only small pulling or pushing forces are necessary even with travel lengths more than 500 m or large additional loads.

New: KabelSkate Single

  • significantly lower costs owing to the elimination of the second cable and hose carriers

The proven solution: KabelSkate

  • low pushing and pulling forces
  • use of proven standard cable carriers
  • no impacting of the rollers against one another
  • low-vibration and very silent running
  • maintenance-free
  • no climbing of the chain in the acceleration phase
  • no guide channel necessary
    (speed- and acceleration-dependent)
