Crane Cables

Providing safe, high-performance cables to ports around the world

Prysmian's crane cables are specifically designed to ensure the safe and sustainable operation of infrastructure in the top 100 ports around the world. Our cables are built to withstand high stress and have a long lifespan, making them ideal for unique and demanding crane applications. 

 

Our product range includes cables for power transmission, signaling and control, as well as optical data transmission, along with various accessories. Prysmian crane cables cater to the needs of spreaders, reels, festoon systems, chain systems, electronic handling systems, and lifts.

 

Generations of Expertise 

For decades, the crane industry has trusted Prysmian for high-quality cable solutions. Our innovative designs and in-house formulated and produced materials have revolutionized the industry, resulting in longer cable life, increased production, reduced downtime, and significantly lower costs. We continually push the boundaries of what is possible, and we invite you to join us on this journey. 

 

Our supply of cables for electrification projects in port infrastructure has played a vital role in reducing CO2 emissions, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly port environment. This commitment to sustainability is at the core of our operations. 

 

For example, short electrical connections for a vessel's power supply, an innovation from Prysmian, have replaced the less efficient and more polluting diesel engines that were previously used for the same purpose. This demonstrates the practical advantages of our solutions.

Products and Solutions:

  • Cables specifically designed to endure severe flexing and torsional stress are available. 
  • These heavy-duty, robust cables resist abrasion, chemical solvents, oil, flame, moisture, and a variety of environmental conditions.
  •  We also offer hybrid cable solutions that combine power supply and data transmission features. 

 

Prysmian is a leading manufacturer of specialized cables engineered to withstand the flexing and high stress experienced in container-handling terminals and yard cranes. 

 

Our competitive range of durable and reliable cable solutions is designed for demanding environments. 

 

Prysmian has extensive experience in developing rubber-based materials. Our world-class products are manufactured in-house using proprietary rubber compounds.

 

Prysmian is a proud member of the Port Equipment Manufacturing Association (PEMA).

Our manufacturing facilities have undergone independent audits and have been certified by organizations such as Underwater Laboratories Inc. and in accordance with primary international standards like VDE and IEC-EN. These certifications ensure compliance with the quality requirements outlined in ISO 9000:2018. 

 

Our globally recognized certifications reflect our strong commitment to delivering high-quality products and services, as well as our dedication to continuously improving our practices.

Product Range

Festoon round cables are engineered for continuous movement, twisting, and demanding applications where factors like flame, abrasion, chemicals, moisture, impact, tearing, and extreme temperatures are considerations. Typical applications include festoon systems.

Festoon flat cables are specifically designed and built for continuous flexing, twisting, and other demanding physical applications. Key considerations in their design include resistance to flame, abrasion, chemicals, moisture, impact, tearing, and extreme temperatures. These cables are ideal for use in festoon systems. The flatform option is particularly advantageous when space is limited, as it can be stacked, or when extreme flexing is necessary.

Crane spreader basket cables are engineered for the newest high-speed container cranes equipped with gravity-fed collector baskets. These cables offer exceptional flexibility while providing the necessary ballast to operate at speeds of up to 160 meters per minute (or 8.75 feet per second). Additionally, crane spreader reeling cables are specifically designed and manufactured to endure harsh environments, high hoist and trolley speeds, and the extreme mechanical stresses associated with vertical reeling systems found in next-generation ship-to-shore container cranes.

Flexible low-voltage reeling cables are designed for high mechanical stress and are suitable for frequent reeling and unreeling operations, including use with both spring and motor-driven reels.

GO TO PRODUCTS →

Medium-voltage flexible reeling cables are specifically designed and manufactured for use in medium-voltage reeling applications. These cables are commonly found in container handling cranes, log handling cranes, stacker reclaimers, ship loaders, ship unloaders, and other similar material handling operations that involve frequent reeling and unreeling. They are built to withstand high mechanical stresses, including dynamic tensile loads.

GO TO PRODUCTS →

Optical fiber cables for data transmission are available in single-mode or multimode configurations, with various fiber counts. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, including crane applications.
