We encourage you to call McLaughlin Hoist & Crane to consult with our experienced sales engineers to determine the correct electrification system to suit your needs.
We provide design & installation of complete electrification systems, as well as sales of electrification components. Because we stock over 5,000 feet of festoon cable and cords, plus thousands of feet in conductor bar, we can provide you with the products that you need immediately.
BRIDGE CRANES
Conductor bar systems are used for the eleectrification of mobile equipment and are often used on overhead crane runways and bridges. Conductor bar is a safe, economical and low maintenance way to meet mobile electrification demands. Depending on the application there are various options and accessories that can be custom enfineerid for your conductor bar system.
In addition to the conductor bar itself, we supply collectors, replacement collector shoes, collector posts, a variety of conductor bar mounting options, and everything else you may need to complete your system.

TAGLINE SYSTEMS
Tag-Line Festoon Cable Systems, also called “streched wire festoon” are designed to provide reliable performance in light duty applications where intermediate supports are not available. They are common components on short-run monorails, jib cranes, and workstation cranes. A tag-line system consists of a steel cable stretched tight with trolleys or rings carring round cord. McLaughlin Hoist & Crane provides installation of Tag-Line electrification systems and sales of components.
CORD REELS
Another alternative for providing power to a mobile machinery are cord/cable reels. Cord reels consist of multi-conductor cable wrapped around a rotating drum. They can be mounted stationary or on a swivel base to allow it to payout in different directions. Cable reels can be used for many systems that require the payout and retrieval of cable to mobile equipment, but are most often used to power monorail hoists and below-the-hook devices. Motor powered cord reels are also available for applications requiring larger cable or longer spans. Give us a call us at (636) 343-9700 for more information or to place an order.
