Gortrac®

LRC Series 4″ Cable Carrier

Gortrac LRC is a large steel cable carrier with a 4” link height, bar width flexibility, and seven curve heights from 15” to 52.50”.  The LRC’s heavy-duty design provides robust strength with up to 24’ unsupported travel span. For an enclosed carrier, aluminum armor plates (AP) can be added.

  • High strength, low weight
    Developed in 2001 to meet the specific needs of aerial lift manufacturers requiring long unsupported cable carrier spans and lightweight designs to reduce transportation costs and increase profitability.

    • Non-essential center portions of the link that are not exposed to strain have been removed, and hollow pins are used to further reduce weight.
  • Strong and streamlined
    Half shear lockout link system reduces parts, weight, and costs without sacrificing strength.
  • Corrosion resistant
    Zinc-dichromate plated links for corrosion resistance (stainless steel custom order available).
  • Customer-specified crossbar width
  • Many cavity and layout options including:
    • Bolted aluminum flat bar (AF) – separators available
    • Bolted aluminum round bar (RB) with optional poly roller (PR) – snap-on style glass-filled nylon separators available
    • Custom machined bars (MC)
    • Vertical and horizontal dividers/separators
    • Window extenders
    • Aluminum armor plates for an enclosed-style carrier (side bands are provided without openings)
  • Many applications
    Foundries and steel plants, oil and gas, metalworking (weld tables & burn tables), mobile construction equipment (HDD, AWP).

Weight Load Chart

  • Find the weight you want to put in the cable carrier on the left side of the chart (additional load)
  • Then follow that row across until you get to the maximum unsupported length line.
  • Unsupported length (a.k.a. unsupported span) is the maximum distance possible between the moving end mounting bracket and the topmost link of the curve.
  • For a standard cable carrier mounted with the fixed end at center of travel, this length is 1/2 the system travel + 1 link pitch.
  • This length can be greater or shorter if the fixed end is offset mounted from the center of travel.
  • Using the load chart below, for example: an additional load of 4 lbs./ft can have a maximum unsupported span of 10 ft.
