Festoon systems are a type of overhead material handling system commonly used in industrial environments, such as factories, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities.
Red Rooster Lifting's festoon systems have been specifically designed and developed for the support of air hose, flat form cable and round cable, to feed power to overhead travelling cranes, hoists, jibs and monorails, and other travelling equipment. Festoon systems are often used for applications where mobility and flexibility are required, such as in overhead cranes, gantry cranes, and other mobile machinery.
About our Festoon Systems
Key components of a festoon system typically include:
I-beam:
These are the main structural components of the system that support the entire festoon setup. They are usually mounted overhead and provide a track for the trolleys or carriers to move along.
Trolleys or carriers:
Trolleys or carriers are attached to the or I-beam and move along the track to support the cables or hoses.
Cables or hoses:
Festoon systems are used to manage and support air hoses, or cables. These are typically suspended from the trolleys or carriers and are organized and protected within the festoon system.
Cable formers or hose formers:
These are the guiding and support elements that help to organize and protect the cables or hoses as they move along the track. Festoon systems are designed to minimize twisting, tangling, and other potential issues.
End stops and attachments:
These components ensure that the festoon system operates within a defined path, preventing the trolleys or carriers from moving outside the designated area.
Festoon systems offer several advantages, including efficient cable and hose management, adaptability to various track configurations, and the ability to accommodate different types of cables and hoses. They are often used in applications where equipment needs to move over a designated area while maintaining a connection to power.
Common uses of festoon systems include overhead cranes, hoists, bridge conveyors, and other material handling equipment.
