A mobile 18 metre cable carrier from a container for Maats Pipeline Professionals

Maats Pipeline Professionals is a big name worldwide when it comes to equipment for pipeline construction. For their work in the field, they had a specific challenge: a reliable energy supply that is mobile, compact and able to withstand the elements. The installation had to operate from a standard shipping container, with a cable carrier able to bridge a stroke of no less than 18 metres. In the rugged environments where Maats operates, standard solutions are often not robust enough. What was needed was a system that could not only handle the length, but could also be deployed quickly without the risk of cable breakage or failures due to dirt and weather.

As exclusive partner of Tsubaki Kabelschlepp since 1975, we at Wisman Techniek know exactly which chain is suitable for extreme outdoor use. Our specialists started with the engineering of a custom configuration that fits precisely in the container. Because space is limited but the reach has to be large, we chose a specific type of cable carrier that combines high stability with a compact bending radius. We looked at optimal support of the cables over the full 18 metres, keeping wear to a minimum. Thanks to our many years of experience in machine building, we were able to advise Maats on the best choice of material for the guide channel and the strain relief inside the chain.

The result is a rock-solid mobile unit that is immediately ready for action in the field. The 18 metre cable carrier rolls smoothly in and out of the container, giving Maats an enormous reach on site without loose cables that could get damaged. The installation is fully tailored to the heavy loads of pipeline projects. Thanks to this solution, the Maats team works more efficiently and safely, knowing that their energy and data supply is optimally protected.
