The Guidefast guide trough is a lightweight steel trough designed for side mounting. It uses a two piece plastic mounting bracket to simplify installation. Each bracket is attached to the crane girder with just a single fastener. The trough is delivered with pre-drilled mounting holes and pre-cut ports for cable routing.

• Save up to 80% on installation time
• Fits virtually any standard crane girder
• Standard trough length of 6.56 ft (2.0 m)
• Suitable for any side-mounted application
• Compatible with standard e-chains
• Wide range of sizes available
• Tested to withstand vibration and rough environments

What are the advantages of Guidefast?

Unlike festoon systems, Guidefast has no exposed hanging cable loops and a height of 18 inches or less. Cables are protected from harsh conditions inside the energy chain and interior separators prevent the cables from getting tangled. Guidefast is also virtually maintenance-free due to the absence of trolleys, which can require lubrication.

• Maintenance-free operation
• Shorter run of cables possible - this is particularly useful for sensitive bus systems
• No loop parking station required
• Increased ground clearance due to the absence of hanging loops
• Defined bend radius and decreased mechanical stress to cables
• Fully-assembled systems available - allows for installation at the OEM facility
