Anti-Corkscrew Reel Cable, Keeps Port Work Going in Shanghai

Background

In 2024, Shanghai Deep-Sea Port International Logistics Co., Ltd. experienced a cable corkscrew effect on its RTG/ERTG equipment due to third-party cables, which impacted normal operations. Our company, with extensive experience in port mobile cables, was invited to provide on-site support.

On-Site Inspection

We performed a comprehensive inspection of the RTG/ERTG working status, cable diversion units, and cable reel alignment, identifying the cable structure and material as the root cause.

Solution

Within 3 weeks, we delivered a customized 3×95+2×50/2+24FO reel cable with TÜV Rheinland certification. This cable features an optimized compact structure, wear-resistant materials, and a precise stranding pitch, which has been proven effective in major ports globally.

Result

Following 18 months of continuous operation, our follow-up confirmed zero twisting, no corkscrew effect, and stable performance.

Conclusion

Our professional cable solution effectively solved the twisting failure, improving equipment reliability and reducing maintenance for the port.
