Gantry Crane Cable Drum
The gantry crane cable drum is a specialized mechanism for the automatic winding and feeding of the power cable as the crane travels along its rail track. It maintains constant tension, prevents sagging and cable damage, and ensures uninterrupted power supply to the crane’s moving components.
Drum design features:
Rigid steel housing with anti-corrosion coating
Hollow drum (mono-spiral coil) for cable winding
Control cabinet with frequency converter for smooth adjustment of winding/unwinding speed and cable tension
Guide rollers for even cable layering
Transfer device (for mid-travel power connection)
A cable drum can be retrofitted to an existing crane—for example, when operating conditions change and other power-conductor types are unsuitable or require significant capital investment.
Our plant manufactures motor‐driven mono-spiral cable drums with a horizontal winding capacity of up to 200 m in accordance with TU 3155-011-87879481-2015 and TU 28.22.14-019-87879481-2023. The equipment is available in general industrial design and can be adapted to any operating conditions. Thanks to our extensive manufacturing experience, our cable drums offer a well-engineered and reliable solution.
The “Gruzopodem” company is a modern factory in Kazan with an area of 17,000 m², where more than 1,000 overhead, cantilever, and gantry cranes, as well as other equipment, are manufactured annually. The factory is equipped with its own certified laboratories for destructive and non‑destructive testing, which, among other things, guarantees the high quality of products at every production stage: from incoming material inspection to the release of the finished product. We strictly comply with industry standards and have a Certificate of Welding Technology Certification issued by the National Welding Control Agency. Based on the results of an independent study, our company was included in the TOP‑5 largest crane manufacturers in Russia and was recognized as the best exporter in the Republic of Tatarstan in the industrial sector. In 2025 and 2026, the overhead cranes produced by our company became laureates of the republican competition “Best Goods and Services of the Republic of Tatarstan” in the “Products for Industrial and Technical Use” category, and also received diplomas at the federal stage of the “100 Best Products of Russia” program.*
