Quick Trough for Crane Kits

The Quick Trough modular trough systems are designed for crane kits, indoor cranes, and most standard crane girders. It’s been rigorously tested for trouble-free operation in industrial applications. Keep cables organized and protected inside a carrier – avoid hanging cables, preventing entanglement. The Quick-Trough works well with pneumatic hoses and tight bends and minimizes the storage space (depot) for retracted cables.

Key Features

  • Cables are organized and protected inside a carrier preventing entanglement (Festoon is hanging free/loose / swinging freely)
  • Saves energy, cost, and complexity of a separate motor to move cables (cables guided by a tow arm attached to the crane)
  • Works well with pneumatic hoses and tight bends
  • Supports both end-mount and center mounting of the cable carrier
  • Minimizes storage space (depot) for retracted cable
  • Save installation time up to 80% vs. the standard trough
  • Minimizes weight (lighter than plastic carrier and guide trough)
  • Costs less than a standard plastic carrier and guide trough system
  • No interference – no hanging cables
  • Works with stacked cranes – No hanging cables
