Cable Reels and Slip Rings for US Overhead Crane and Hoist Applications

Cable reels and Slip rings are continuous electrical connection and cable management solutions for US overhead crane, hoist, jib crane, and industrial machinery installations requiring uninterrupted power and signal transmission through rotating or extended travel movements. Crane-Controls.com stocks cable reels and slip rings from two industry-trusted brands — Insul-8 and TER — covering the full range of US overhead crane cable reel and slip ring requirements from light-duty jib crane rotating electrical connections through heavy-duty bridge crane runway cable management systems.

Insul-8 cable reels are stocked in Lift Drag, Retrieve, and Stretch Cable Reel configurations, in 2 to 8 conductor arrangements in 12 AWG, 14 AWG, and 16 AWG, with travel lengths from 60 feet to 125 feet for US overhead crane runway applications. Insul-8 cable reel pivot bases and swivel bases — in 330-degree, 345-degree, and 360-degree continuous rotation configurations — are also stocked for new installations and MRO replacement at existing US crane facilities. TER slip ring collectors are stocked in 10A, 10A/30A, and 50A series configurations for jib crane, overhead crane, and industrial machinery rotating electrical transmission applications requiring continuous power, control signal, and data transmission through the crane rotation point.
