Common Applications
Rousheng flat crane cable solutions are the preferred choice for:
-
Container terminal cranes (STS ship-to-shore, RTG rubber-tyred gantry)
-
Port and shipyard festoon systems requiring long travel and high reliability
-
Indoor overhead crane festoon tracks in steel plants and warehouses
-
Automated overhead transport systems in logistics and manufacturing
-
Heavy-duty hoist and trolley systems exposed to outdoor weather
These environments demand cables that maintain performance through repeated acceleration, deceleration, and exposure to dust, moisture, and mechanical wear.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do flat festoon cables differ from round reeling cables?
A: Flat cables stack neatly in festoon trolleys, reduce system height, and minimize sway compared to round cables used on drums.
Q: What tensile load can your flat crane cables support?
A: Standard models support 2100–3000N, with custom versions available for higher loads in large port cranes.
Q: Are hybrid versions with data transmission available?
A: Yes, we integrate shielded Cat6, Profibus, or fiber optic elements while maintaining the flat profile and mechanical strength.
Q: What is the expected service life in festoon applications?
A: Properly installed, our cables typically achieve 5–8 million cycles, depending on travel speed and environmental factors.
Q: Do you provide samples or trial lengths?
A: Yes, contact us for sample cables to test in your specific festoon system.
