Festoons 

Typical stretched wire system

This is a light-duty festoon system for economical installation where heavy service is not required.  Economical and dependable, this wire rope-supported festoon system is designed to provide electrification ot small cranes, moving hoists, and other moving machinery where relatively light load conditions are present.

Stretched wire systems can also be used to festoon supply hoses for pneumatic tools, as well as continuous welding machines or flame cutters where oxygen or acetylene gases are used.

Stretched wire systems can accommodate either flat or round festooning cables.   Stretched wire systems are efficient, reliable, and easily installed at low cost.

Maximum system span is 100 feet

Typical C-track system

The C-track system is one of the most versatile festooning techniques available. It is an all-purpose system suited for either indoor or outdoor use under a broad range of operating conditions.

Typical Square Bar System

Square bar systems provide a rigid and stable support for cable carriers without the weight and greater cost of an I-beam installation.  Square bar installations also mean that carriers travel on exposed surfaces and permit easy access to moving parts for maintenance.  The carriers have guide wheels that contact all four surfaces of the bar and are less prone to sway from side-to-side.

Typical I-Beam System

I-beam festoons are for use when needs merit a sophisticated solution.
