Port cranes - Import export

The great variety of contact shoe shapes and materials means there are very few limits in terms of applications. Which linear current transmission system are you working on at the moment? Amongst other applications, our collector shoes are in use on power rails and current collectors, as grounding contacts, or for electrifying port cranes (E-RTG). One special feature: MACK contact shoes can be plastic coated if required. This provides partial insulation and enables perfect coordination throughout the whole system. Exactly as you need it.

Where it says carbon on the package, there is innovation inside! That's because carbon brushes from MACK are playing their part in helping gantry cranes and container-handling technology go green. Lower diesel fuel consumption, less air pollution, significant increase in productivity: Slowly but surely, new technology is bringing the electrification of container-stacking cranes to port terminals around the world. ERTG (Electrified Rubber-Tyred Gantry) is the keyword. And: MACK is at the forefront when contact shoes are required, at times even for conductor lines that are several hundred metres long. We would be pleased to play a major role in your ‘green harbour’ projects with our high-quality, durable carbon brushes and holders, making our contribution towards a future that is more environmentally friendly in the process. Our tool production and our injection moulding workshop work for you exactly to your needs.

When operating in crane and port facilities, a braking system must primarily be reliably protected and, secondly, must operate very powerfully. The INTORQ BFK 471 product series combines these two features perfectly. These specially sealed brakes have a newly designed hand-release mechanism which, like the brakes themselves, is IP66 compliant. This series also features high braking torque and requires only a compact installation space.
