One size smaller, but stronger – Tsubaki Kabelschlepp has launched new heavy duty cable carriers TKHD85 and TKHD85-R (with integrated rollers) designed especially for extended travel lengths.


The inner height of 58mm is ideal when not much space is required for cables and hoses as in the larger version. In return, users benefit from a lower weight, which is a clear advantage for extended travel lengths.

Extended travel lengths are the specialty of the TKHD series - whether in ship-to-shore cranes (STS), systems for bulk goods handling or other applications – the heavy duty cable carriers come into their own over long distances.

Thanks to the installed stainless steel ball bearings, the integrated rollers of the TKHD85-R are subject to virtually no wear and are maintenance-free. Roller supported cable carriers prevent unwanted expansion on the extended travel lengths.

Compared to a gliding cable carrier, the cable carrier system requires up to 90% less force and saves drive power and energy.
