Long version for magazine

With its various products, VAHLE more than meets the requirements of modern port handling and container technology. This includes the capability of VAHLE conductors and festoon systems to achieve trolley speeds of more than 600 metres per minute without any problems. Exemplary VAHLE  developments such as power and data transmission with insulated U-Conductors and SMG (slotted microwave guide) will withstand harsh environmental conditions. This system is fully resistant against faults caused by radio communication, port radar, wind, moisture and salt deposits and is thus perfectly suited for port crane requirements. Our cable carriers are manufactured in modular construction, have multiple combination options and are perfectly matched. With our E-RTG product range we are able to power the RTG by means of conductor bars within the aisle instead of using a diesel generator.
We offer covered trench systems not only in the low voltage but also in the medium voltage range with our EID system, which also operates extremely quietly. VAHLE not only offers suitable products, but also professional installation: We have our own internal assembly department, a competent team including 13 permanent fitters and other qualified and internally trained sub-companies, which operate all over the world. A master installation technician can be on each construction site as a supervisor, who can monitor the installation process on customer request – even with external staff. Apart from the initial installation, VAHLE also offers complete maintenance agreements. These comprise cleaning and checking at regular intervals and the replacement of worn parts. The competent VAHLE installation team also specialises in a spare parts service and in the conversion or extension of systems.
