Quick Trough for Crane Kits

The Quick Trough modular trough systems is designed for crane kits, indoor cranes, and most standard crane girders. It’s been rigorously tested for trouble-free operation in industrial applications. Keep cables organized and protected inside a carrier – avoid hanging cables, preventing entanglement. The Quick-Trough works well with pneumatic hoses and tight bends and minimizes the storage space (depot) for retracted cables.

Key Features

  • Cables are organized and protected inside a carrier preventing entanglement (Festoon is hanging free / loose / swinging freely)
  • Saves energy, cost, and complexity of separate motor to move cables (cables guided by tow arm attached to crane)
  • Works well with pneumatic hoses and tight bends
  • Supports both end-mount and center mounting of cable carrier
  • Minimizes storage space (depot) for retracted cable
  • Save installation time up to 80% vs. standard trough
  • Minimizes weight (lighter than plastic carrier and guide trough)
  • Costs less than standard plastic carrier and guide trough system
  • No interference – no hanging cables
  • Works with stacked cranes – No hanging cables
Two black linear objects with curved, ribbed centers and flat ends are shown. The upper object is positioned horizontally, reminiscent of a crane kit component, while the lower one angles slightly downward. Both have a sleek, industrial design and appear to be metal or plastic.
