Energy chain solutions | Offshore industry

Offshore platforms like oil and gas extraction exposes cables, hoses, and energy supply systems to harsh conditions, including dirt, salt water, vibration, extreme temperatures, mechanical stress, and explosive environments. Our Light and maintenance-free energy chains ensure reliable power delivery to cantilevers and pipes in land and offshore platforms. Thanks to our engineering team, DNV- and NEK-certified chainflex cables can power our ready-to-connect complete systems, tailored to your specific needs.

Success stories

RBR in a Liebherr heavy-duty rotary crane

Energy chain wrapped around the crane leg

Heavy-duty Liebherr rotary cranes are used on installation vessels for offshore wind turbines. They can lift components weighing up to 1,500 tons. Energy transfer through the slewing ring is ensured by an innovative energy chain concept that allows the boom to rotate up to 900 degrees.
e-loop in the Akita top drive

Consistency even during a snowstorm

Plants in the field of oil production often have to deal with severe weather conditions. For a Canadian oil drilling company, our e-loop energy chain solution ensures that the top drive is always safely and reliably supplied with energy and signals, even during severe storms.
Offshore applications

... and other success stories

Heavy-duty energy chains in drilling rigs, e.g. for the top drive, cantilever or pipe handler, flexible rotary modules in pivotable heavy-duty cranes or safe shore power supplies: discover more about the successful use of our motion plastics in these and other projects.

White paper on maritime sector

More automation in the maritime sector

What challenges and what advantages do automation and digitalisation present for the maritime industry? How can companies meet the strict test criteria to have components certified by competent institutions such as DNV GL? What opportunities arise for suppliers, plant manufacturers and operators of drilling platforms and ships through the use of certified components such as cables? These are the questions addressed in this white paper.

e-loop white paper

Cable guidance under adverse conditions

Originally developed for a very specific application in deep drilling rigs, the e-loop energy supply system is also used in bucket wheel excavators, ship unloaders and in the construction of offshore wind turbines in just a short time after its market launch. In this white paper you will find various use cases as a source of ideas.
