Maximum Uptime for the World’s Toughest Terminals

In the maritime logistics industry, downtime is a massive hit to your bottom line. Traditional cable management systems like festoons, motorized reels, and busbars have long been the industry standard, but they are increasingly becoming the primary bottleneck in modern port efficiency. Between saltwater corrosion, cable fatigue from high-speed travels, and the constant need for lubrication, the maintenance burden is relentless.

Engineered for the Elements, Built for Uptime

At igus®, we’ve spent over 30 years proving that port technology doesn’t have to be high-maintenance. Our e-chain® cable carriers and chainflex® cables are specifically engineered to thrive in the harshest coastal environments. By replacing aging, complex mechanical systems with our high-performance polymers, you eliminate the primary failure points found in shipyard and intermodal cranes.

• Corrosion-Free Performance: Our tribo-polymer materials are impervious to saltwater and UV radiation, ensuring your systems don’t seize or degrade in the sea air.
• Massive Travel Capability: Whether it’s an STS crane or an automated stacking crane (ASC), our systems support travel distances exceeding 1,000 meters with lower drive force and less noise.
• Predictive Intelligence: Why wait for a failure? Our i.Sense and i.Cee
