Dimensions
A flat and level surface is required for the
carrier system to be installed properly.
If necessary, a support tray should be
installed. (cf.System Components section)

Load diagram for an
intrinsic chain weight q k
of 4.5 kg/m. If the intrinsic
chain weight exceeds q k
4.5 kg/m, the permitted
additional load
is lower.
KR/RKR-combinations are
possible for circular movements.
Please consult us in any
such cases!

Long travel lengths
With long travel lengths the upper part of the cable carrier glides on
its lower run in a guide channel.
Design → cf. Construction Guidelines
Guide channel → cf. System Components
We recommend that a system of this kind be planned by one of
our engineers.
