Essential Components of a Festoon System
- Track System (C-Track, I-Beam, Square Rail, or Round Cable) – The guiding structure for cable movement
- Cable Trolleys – Hold and move the cables along the track
- Tow Trolley – Connects to the moving part of the crane to guide cable movement
- End Clamps – Secure the festoon system to prevent cable displacement
- Bumpers & Stops – Limit the trolley’s movement to avoid over-travel
- Cables & Hoses – Power, control, and data cables required for crane operation
