What is Crane cables
Crane cables is a term used to cover a range of specialist cables powering and controlling cranes, hoists, festoons, conveyors and gantries.
In all parts of hoisting and crane systems our crane cables can be used in their ideal use cases, be it as control lines or power cables – whether on the construction site or at the harbour, in transport facilities or on production sites. Our crane cables can be used to implement a variety of projects, be used in container spreaders, moveable construction parts, cable feeds in festoon systems or even as drag chain cables and in electrically driven handling systems.
Our product range includes crane systems and crane accessories for drive systems, as well as signal-applications and electronically driven control systems like trip cylinders and crane blocks. Our crane and lifting systems product portfolio also includes the right cables if you intend to use them for optical data transmissions. This includes flat conductors, PVC flat conductors as well as reelable rubber lines, in addition to heavy-duty cables.
Our crane cables are UV resistant – applications such as tower cranes and port loading gantries are subject to the elements – as well as being resistant to oils and greases. These cables are EMC screened as the cables are carrying loads and need protection from nearby electromagnetic interference. The cables remain flexible between -20°C and +70°C.

HuaDong Crane Cables for the highest loads
Our crane cables are specifically designed for the requirements of cranes-, hoisting- and loading-technology. Therefore they aren’t just robust, but are rather distinguished by a high grade of flexibility. Due to these characteristics the crane cables can be placed in movable constructions which are subject to permanent mechanical load, for example winding and unwinding at constant tensile stress, as well as in need of festoon cables for crane systems. Additionally, our crane cables are extraordinarily weatherproof, temperature resistant and can be deployed in combination with chemicals or lubricants without a negative effect on functionality.
Due to the above mentioned reasons they meet the special requirements which are needed for spreader or festoon cables in crane systems: due to the high mechanical stress in a vertical operation of crane baskets, the breaking resistance and weatherproofness of spreader-cables is of paramount importance. This also concerns festoon cables, which are used for the transportation of goods by use of a suspension.
