Cables for gantry crane
August 1st 2006

Cable industry expert, Nexans, has signed a basic agreement with Gottwald Port Technology to equip 4 pilot automated-stacking cranes with RHEYFIRM(RTS) medium voltage cables for the new Deurganck Dock located at P&O's Antwerp Gateway Terminal. Under the agreement, upon successful installation and consequent inspection by the port, Nexans will supply a further 40km. The two modules are scheduled to be operational by the end of 2006.

Manufactured at Nexans' cabling plant in Moenchengladbach (Germany), the specialist data and power transmission cables have been especially modified for this application to withstand extreme tensile forces and mechanical stress.
