In addition, the manufacturer offers the TKSR95 – a steel cable carrier that was also developed for lifting equipment – as well as special versions for reliable routing and separation of rigid hydraulic hoses and electric cables in extending stabilisation legs for commercial vehicles.

TKK cable carriers from KABELSCHLEPP Metool are not only extremely robust, lightweight and compact, they also impress with their extensive unsupported length. The compact arrangement in a boom allows for great extension lengths while the high
torsional rigidity and lateral stability ensure straight running.

The optimised divider design additionally provides efficient protection for cables and hoses with precise inner distribution. The cable carriers have very short end connectors and the dirt-repellent design of the link plates offers particularly effective protection against contamination during use. The smooth surfaces ensure optimum running.

The TKK39 is available in different installation heights from 142 to 240mm, inner widths from 39 to 99mm, and bending radii from 46 to 95mm. The
pitch and inner height are both 39mm. 

The cable carrier can be used unsupported or gliding, and supports speeds of up to 3m/s, accelerations of up to 9m/s2 and travel lengths of up to 120m with a maximum additional load of 10kg/m. 

The cable carrier is available with two stay variants: the TKK39.020 with a sturdy, enclosed frame, which is suitable for protecting hydraulic hoses for example, and the TKK39.040 with hinged crossbars that can be opened at any position inside
for easy access to cables and hoses during inspection and maintenance. 

Dividers are either movable or can be fixed in a 2mm grid, offering flexible height separation for optimum vertical and horizontal separation of cables and hoses.

TKSR95 – effective solution for hydraulic work platforms

The TKSR95 cable carrier is also a robust and energy-saving solution for lifting platforms. Its low weight reduces the actuating forces of the entire application. The extensive unsupported length allows for great extension lengths of
the boom. With its small bending radius of 85mm, the TKSR95 is also a space-saving solution for small installation spaces.

It was tested under rough operating conditions and reached 90,000 cycles without failure, which is evidence of its high quality and a long service life. Maintenance, repairs or conversions can easily be carried out in the field, reducing downtime and operating costs.

Moreover, use of the cable carrier is particularly environmentally friendly because it is almost 100% recyclable. To meet individual requirements, KABELSCHLEPP Metool offers application-specific configurations and excellent customer service worldwide.
