Overview
A Cable Reeling Drum is an essential power management and cable handling device used in EOT cranes, gantry cranes, and overhead hoists. It is designed to store, guide, and retract power cables efficiently as the crane moves along its runway. This ensures uninterrupted power supply, prevents cable tangling, and minimizes wear and tear, making it an indispensable component for safe and reliable crane operation.
The system is particularly beneficial in long-span crane applications where continuous cable management is critical for efficiency and safety.

How It Works
The Cable Reeling Drum operates through a rotating drum mechanism:
-
The cable is wound onto a drum that rotates as the crane moves forward or backward.
-
A spring or motor-driven retraction system ensures the cable is evenly reeled or unreeled, preventing slack or tangling.
-
The drum keeps the cable tensioned properly, ensuring stable electrical connection to the crane’s motors, controls, and accessories.
-
This system protects the cable from damage, reduces downtime, and maintains smooth crane operation even during long travel distances.
