· Automated Rail Mounted Gantry (ARMG) Cranes
· Automated Stacking Systems and Conveyors
· Shiploaders, Unloaders, Stackers, and Reclaimers
To meet the diverse electrical demands of this equipment, we supply a comprehensive range of cable types for both fixed and moving applications:
· High Voltage Cables: For main power supply and primary distribution, rated 1.1kV, 3.3kV, 6.6kV, 11kV, 33kV
· Power Cables: For drive systems and high-power loads.
· Control Cables: For automation systems and signal transmission.
· Communications Cables: For data transfer and network communications.
· Specialised Flexible Cables: For moving power supply applications, featuring excellent bending and torsion resistance.
All our products are engineered for compliance with AS/NZS standards, ensuring superior performance and long-term durability in the demanding port environment.
Standard
We understand and adhere to the critical standards mandated by Australian port authorities:
· Australian Colour Coding: All our cables are supplied with the correct Australian colour identification, including the mandatory green/yellow earth conductor.
· UV & Environmental Protection: We ensure all external wiring is UV protected, water, temperature, and vibration resistant, as strictly required.
· Material Compliance: Our products use approved materials like PVC or XLPE, with insulation rated for 600/1000V applications, conforming to AS/NZS standards.
Products Family
Our core product range for Australian port machinery is meticulously categorized to meet every application need, ensuring compliance and performance.
Product Category | Key Standards / Description | Key Features & Port Application |
Orange Circular 450/750V | AS/NZS 5000.1 (Typically) | The standard for general power and control circuits. Recognizable orange sheath. Resistant to sunlight, abrasion, and moisture. Ideal for internal cabinet wiring, lighting, and auxiliary circuits. |
Orange Circular 1kV | AS/NZS 5000.1 / AS/NZS 5007.1 (Depending on type) | Used for main power distribution and supplying large motors. Offers higher voltage rating (0.6/1kV) with the same robust environmental protection. |
SDI (Data & Instrumentation) | AS/NZS 5007.1 (or specific comms standards) | Screened/Shielded cables for control, signal, and data transmission. Essential for PLC systems, sensors, and communication networks in electrically noisy port environments. |
Earth Cable | AS/NZS 5000.1 / AS/NZS 5007.1 | Green/Yellow continuous rated earthing cable. Provides critical safety grounding for equipment and structures, ensuring personnel protection and system integrity. |
Fire Rated Cable | AS/NZS 5000.1 & specific fire test criteria | Maintains circuit integrity for a specified period under fire conditions. Crucial for emergency systems, fire alarms, and safe shutdown circuits as per regulatory requirements. |
Control Cable | AS/NZS 5007.1 / AS/NZS IEC 60092.376 | Multi-core cables, often screened, dedicated to control circuits, relay logic, and instrumentation. Flexible and resistant to interference. |
Rubber Insulated Cable | AS/NZS 5007.1 (Elastomeric Insulated) | Offers superior flexibility, toughness, and resistance to repeated mechanical stress. Suitable for applications requiring extra durability or where lower temperatures are a concern. |
