STS, RTG, RMG, festoon, reeling and spreader systems
Port & Container Crane Cable Solutions
Select the cable around the crane, movement mode and duty cycle. This solution maps ship-to-shore, rubber-tyred gantry, rail-mounted gantry and automated container handling systems to festoon, reeling, travelling, spreader, medium-voltage and fibre optic cable routes.

Choose by system duty, not by name alone
Use this page to narrow the cable route before comparing a product model or submitting a specification.
Start with the equipment
Identify the machine, circuit function, route and the consequence of cable failure at that location.
Define the complete duty
State voltage or transmission needs together with movement, bending, load, fluids, temperature and installation exposure.
Confirm one construction
Review conductor or fibre elements, screens, reinforcement, sheath, termination, standards and documentation as one schedule.
Match the cable to the equipment and route
A container crane can use several cable movement systems at once. The main feeder, trolley festoon, spreader route and data link each need their own mechanical and electrical checks.
Ship-to-shore cranes
Long-travel, trolley and spreader routes combining medium-voltage power, control and data under high operating cycles.
RTG and RMG cranes
Reeling or festoon systems exposed to outdoor weather, torsion, acceleration, abrasion and automated duty.
Automated stacking cranes
High-cycle power and communication routes where positioning data, fibre optics and predictable movement are critical.
Trolley festoon systems
Flat or round travelling cables supported by trolleys and selected for bending, bundle geometry, speed and EMC needs.
Spreader and collector baskets
Vertical hanging and basket routes where cable weight, tensile load, wind and direction changes govern construction.
Cable reels and drums
Single- or multi-layer reeling routes defined by drum diameter, speed, acceleration, side pressure and tension control.
Define the conditions that control cable life
Crane cable life follows the movement system. A cable designed for festoon travel should not be substituted into a high-tension reel or collector basket route without reviewing the mechanical construction.
Define festoon, reel, basket, vertical hanging or travelling duty, including reverse bends and direction changes.
Provide travel speed, acceleration, reel tension, hanging height, cable weight and operating cycles.
Confirm voltage, controls, screens, EMC and fibre optic elements before selecting a hybrid construction.
Check UV, salt, oil, abrasion, water, flame, temperature and mechanical impact at the actual route.
Compare suitable cable-family routes
Start with movement mode, then match voltage, cable shape, reinforcement, screen and sheath to the crane route.
Festoon travelling cables
Flat or round power and control routes for trolley systems, selected by bundle, speed, bending and EMC requirements.

Production, marking, packing and agreed inspection follow the confirmed order specification.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to common questions before a project-specific cable review.
How do festoon and reeling crane cables differ?
Festoon cables travel in supported loops and are selected around trolley geometry, bending direction, speed and bundle arrangement. Reeling cables wind on a drum and require drum, layers, tension, speed and torsion data.
When should fibre optics be integrated into a crane cable?
A hybrid route may be useful when the moving system needs power, control and high-bandwidth data in one cable. Fibre count, optical interface, repair strategy, movement and mechanical load must be reviewed together.
What data controls a crane reeling cable design?
Key inputs include voltage, cores, screens and fibre count, drum diameter, layers, speed, acceleration, tension, route length, bend direction, torsion, outdoor exposure and operating cycle.
Can one cable construction cover STS, RTG and RMG cranes?
Not automatically. Each crane and movement system can use different reels, festoons, baskets, speeds, loads and interfaces. Selection should follow the actual route rather than the crane name alone.
