YE.200 energy chain series

High stability and considerable fill weight - both requirements of the DKW Drahtwerk Köln have led to the selection of the hybrid chain YRHD.108.25.500.0 (tube variant) for implementing the unsupported travel of 12.5m with a fill weight of 28kg/m. The lids and shelves of the energy tube can be opened so that it is possible to add or replace cables later.

In steel chains, the built-in hydraulic hoses of this power catwalk application wear out very quickly, so that an alternative was sought. As the YE.42 hybrid chain consists of steel side plates that ensure an unsupported length that is approx. 100% longer (compared to plastic chains of the same size) and as the plastic links that have proven themselves for more than 35 years are used as crossbars, the YE series hybrid chain solves the customer's wear problem.

The YE.42 series with a chain length of 7.5m is used in a Genie work platform. It functioned flawlessly after installation. The engineers on site particularly emphasised the ease of installation. It took much longer to remove the existing steel chain than to install the new YE hybrid energy chain, which was done within an hour in this application.
