Electrical Panel

Crane electrical control panels serve as the central nervous system of the crane, housing all control and safety components including contactors, thermal relays, limit switches, frequency inverters, PLC systems, and diagnostic devices. Wimac electrical panels are built with IP55 or IP67 protection class enclosures, ensuring reliable operation in dusty, humid, and harsh industrial environments.

Festoon Cabling System

Festoon cable systems provide a robust and flexible cable management solution that ensures uninterrupted power and control signal transmission by safely guiding and protecting cables along the crane's travel path. Wimac offers three main festoon system types to suit different applications.

C-Track Festoon System

C-Track (C-Rail) festoon systems are the most common solution for standard indoor crane applications. The enclosed C-profile track protects cables from dust, debris, and accidental damage while allowing smooth trolley movement. Suitable for small and medium distances as well as light and medium capacities in moderate environments

I-Beam Festoon System

I-Beam festoon systems are designed for heavy-duty applications requiring longer travel distances and higher cable capacities. Ideal for outdoor gantry cranes, steel mills, ports, and foundries. Supports longer distances, heavy duty, harsh environments and heavy industries.

Other Alternatives for Overbridge Electrical Supply

As an alternative, these systems are also available in very heavy-duty festoon configurations suitable for demanding operating conditions. Besides, options such as Ex-proof executions provide enhanced protection for power and control cables, ensuring reliable performance in hazardous, outdoor, or harsh industrial environments. Movable cable channels are also used as an alternative for festoon at certain project requirements.

Busbar

Crane busbar systems (conductor bar systems) provide continuous electrical power supply to moving crane components through sliding collector contacts. Busbars offer a reliable alternative to festoon cables, especially for long travel distances and high-current applications.

Enclosed Busbar

Enclosed busbar systems are enclosed in a fully insulated protective casing. This design both enhances safety and offers a more compact layout. They are generally used in indoor environments.

Insulted Conductor System

Insulted Conductor System is an alternative and more economical solution compared to busbar system, suitable for Indoor workshops, warehouses, assembly halls, normal environments. But it has shorter lifetime compared with busbar system

Open Busbar System

Open Busbar System consist of uninsulated or partially insulated conductors. These busbars are designed for use in overhead lines or outdoor areas. They are manufactured from copper or aluminum and have a high current-carrying capacity

Cable Drum

Cable reeling drums provide an efficient method for managing power and control cables on traveling crane components. As the crane moves, the cable drum automatically winds or unwinds the cable, maintaining proper tension and preventing cable damage. This system is particularly advantageous for long travel distances where festoon systems may not be practical.

Spring-Driven Cable Drum

Spring-driven cable drums use a powerful spiral spring mechanism to maintain cable tension and automatically retract cable as the crane returns. This maintenance-free design requires no external power source. Suitable for travel distances up to 100 meters with cable capacities up to 150 meters.

Motor-Driven Cable Drum

Motor-driven cable drums employ an electric motor with torque control to wind and unwind cables with precise tension regulation. Essential for long travel distances and heavy cable loads. Suitable for travel distances exceeding 500 meters with cable capacities up to 1000 meters.

Gantry Crane Storm Brakes

Gantry Crane Storm brakes (A hydraulic rail clamp) is used on gantry cranes to securely lock the crane onto the rail during strong winds, emergency stops, or when the crane is parked. By applying powerful downward force through hydraulic cylinders, the clamp grips the rail head and prevents any unintended movement, ensuring stability, safety, and protection against derailment. This system is essential for outdoor gantry cranes operating in open areas where wind loads and environmental conditions can cause the crane to drift or slide.

Storm Brake Main Features Components

  • Clamping Mechanism: High-strength steel jaws with replaceable friction pads
  • Anemometer: Continuously measures real-time wind speed (m/s or km/h)
  • Control Interface: Integration with crane PLC for automatic operation
