3M Scotchcast M Series Cable Repair Kits For Crane Grab Power Cables

Flexible and reeling cables are subject to frequent coiling movement and high mechanical strain - therefore any cable repair solution should replicate the properties of that cable so as not to compromise operational efficiency. 

 

The 3M Scotchcast M flexible cable joint repair kits are suitable for the repair of flexible reeling crane cables which pass over guide pulleys and drums especially in the container handling and port authority industry. This includes repairs to Cordaflex flexible and reeling cables on mobile equipment such as ship loaders, gantry cranes, stackers, reclaimers, inclinators, hoists and spreader cranes. 

Typical Grabbing Cranes - Mobile Harbour Cranes (MHC’s)

• Multi purpose cranes for bulk handling, break bulk, container handling
• Floating cranes 
• Barge or pontoon mounted cranes
• Slewing cranes (jib cranes)
• Fixed or rail mounted cranes with a single jib or double jib (level luffing)  
• Ship unloaders (gantry cranes)
• Unloaders are normally used for handling very large volumes of bulk materials
