Festoon cable systems are a type of cable management system used in cranes or hoists. They consist of cables suspended along the crane's or hoist's path, supported by trolleys or tracks. These systems provide a safe and organized way to route power, control, and communication cables to moving equipment. The cables are looped or festooned, allowing them to extend and retract as the crane or hoist moves. Festoon cable systems help protect cables from damage and tangling while ensuring a continuous power supply and control signal transmission. They are essential for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of cranes and hoists by managing and supporting the necessary cables.
