Cable festoon systems for reliable power and control cable management on travelling cranes, hoists, and material handling equipment. Protect your cables, ensure uninterrupted power supply, and extend cable life with properly designed festoon systems.
Festoon systems are cable management solutions that carry power and control cables along the travel path of moving equipment such as overhead cranes, hoists, and trolleys. The cables are suspended from a series of trolleys that move along a track, allowing the cables to extend and retract smoothly as the equipment travels.
Without proper cable management, trailing cables can become tangled, damaged, or create safety hazards. Festoon systems keep cables organised, protected, and out of the way while ensuring reliable power and signal transmission.
Continuous, uninterrupted power supply to moving cranes and hoists throughout their travel.
Prevents cable damage from dragging, tangling, abrasion, and environmental factors.
Properly supported cables last significantly longer than unsupported trailing cables.
Eliminates trip hazards and keeps cables clear of personnel and equipment.
We supply and install load limiting systems to suit different crane types, capacities, and requirements.
The most common type of festoon system, using an enclosed C-shaped track that protects cables and trolleys from dust, debris, and the environment.
Heavy-duty systems using standard I-beam as the track. Ideal for demanding industrial environments and heavy cable loads.
Economical solution using a tensioned wire rope as the support. Suitable for lighter cable loads and shorter travel distances.
Power-driven systems that actively manage cable position for very long travel distances or complex multi-axis movement.
The rail or support along which the cable trolleys travel. Available in C-track, I-beam, or wire rope configurations depending on application.
Rolling carriers that support the cables and travel along the track. Available in various sizes for different cable capacities.
Connect the cable trolleys together and to the moving equipment, ensuring they travel in sync with the crane or hoist.
Prevent trolleys from leaving the track and maintain proper cable tension throughout the system.
Secure the cables to the trolleys while allowing for thermal expansion and minor movement.
Brackets, hangers, and fixings to secure the track to the building structure or crane runway.
Festoon systems are used wherever electrical power or control signals need to be delivered to moving equipment.
Overhead travelling cranes
Monorail systems
Theatre & stage equipment
Power vs Control Cables
Power cables – Main electrical supply to crane motors
Control cables – Signals for pendant or remote control
Data cables – For sensors, PLCs, and automation
Pneumatic hoses – Compressed air for tools or actuators
Festoon systems are one of two main methods for delivering power to travelling cranes. The alternative is a conductor bar (busbar) system. Both have their place depending on the application.
We can assess your application and recommend the most suitable power delivery method. For conductor bar systems, see our Busbar Systems page.
We design festoon systems to suit your crane, travel distance, cable requirements, and environment.
Complete festoon systems or individual components from quality manufacturers.
Professional installation by our experienced engineers, whether new build or retrofit.
Upgrade or replace worn festoon systems to restore reliable cable management.
Repair and maintenance of existing festoon systems, including cable replacement.
Trolleys, saddles, end stops, and other components for system maintenance.
Whether you need a new festoon system designed and installed, or replacement parts for an existing system, we can help.
