Crane Electrification - Conductor Bar & Festoon Systems

Ergonomic Partners can solve your conductor bar electrification problems on your new or existing overhead bridge cranes, gantries, jibs, and monorail hoists. Whether you have 8-Bar, V-Bar, Insul-8, or an obsolete brand of electrification on your existing crane or hoist we can retro-fit your old system with a new festoon cable system or conductor bar system. For new cranes or industrial moving power applications we recommend c-track festoon or finger-safe enclosed conductor bar. Our sales engineers can quote turn-key, reliable, high-capacity bar, rail or I-beam electric systems needed by factories, mills, storage yards, people movers, and other rigorous applications.

Figure 8 Conductor Bar (8-Bar)

Figure "8" conductor bar is the original material handling industry standard for crane runways, trolleys, conveyors, automatic stacker-retrieval, and the economical moving power system. We offer a wide variety of mobile electrification crane conductor bars from Magnetek (Electrobar), Duct-O-Wire (Duct O Bar), and Conductix (Insul-8). We have utilized this electrification on overhead cranes, gantries, runways, hoist monorails and any mobile product that needs power. Whether you refer to it as buss bar, bus bar, conductor bar, enclosed conductor bar, figure 8 bar or mobile electrification we can help with your material handling project.

Figure 8 electrification bar systems have been installed and are in use all over the world. It is the practical, proven and economical way to deliver electricity. Features include:

Side and Bottom contact Figure 8 conductors from 90 to 350 AMP. Heavy duty conductors in 500, 1000, and 1500 AMP ratings with stainless steel running surface for longer wear and higher speed operation.
Stainless steel conductors in Figure 8 for corrosive atmospheres.
Factory built expansion sections and anchors for expansion control. Epoxy coated, stainless steel, and insulated hangers for wet and corrosive atmospheres.
Factory bent curved conductor sections for Figure 8 systems. Minimum bend radius is 30 inches.
Heated conductor systems for ice prevention on outdoor systems or freezer storage. Bare conductors available for extreme heat applications.
A variety of Figure 8 covers totally enclosed covers with flap for air-born contaminants, for indoor & outdoor high temperature cover (280° F) with ultra violet additive for direct sunlight outdoor locations.
Special cleaning long-wear collector shoe brushes for Figure 8 systems.
UL listed and CSA Approved.

Safe-Lec 2 (V-Bar) and Hevi-Bar II

The Safe-Lec 2 conductor bar is a positive tracking, v-type collector shoe contact electrical bar system. It is the new standard in overhead crane electrification; the SL 2 is ideal for monorails and just about any material handling system electrification application. Conductix-Wampfler Hevi-Bar II conductor bar system is designed for reliable power delivery in high-capacity crane rail electric service needed by factories, mills, storage yards, people movers, and other rigorous applications. Current Ratings: 500 amps, 700 amps, 1000 amps, and 1500 amps, at 600 volts. Maximum speed ratings of 22 mph | 2,000 feet/minute (609.6 meters/minute). Low Maintenance and Long Life - this is truly an "install it once and forget about it" conductor bar system!

Electrobar Elite and Electrobar FS Conductor Systems

Electrobar Elite is a totally enclosed 4 conductor, bar system; available in 60, 100, 130 and 200 AMP configurations, IP23 finger safe rating, with a lightweight, rigid design.
