How to Select Suitable Reels and Towers

Morteng's construction machinery cable equipment, including spring cable reels, electric cable reels, tower collectors, electric slip rings, and intelligent cable cars, is tailored for heavy - industry electric devices in mines, shipyards, and docks. The selection of the optimal configuration depends on specific operational requirements and equipment specification .

For electric excavators weighing ≤20t, especially those engaged in delicate operations in confined spaces, the upper - outlet design featuring a combination of an iron tower and a spring reel is recommended. The 2 - 3m - tall iron tower, paired with a 15 - 20m - high spring reel tower, offers a 45 - meter - capacity spring reel. This setup allows the excavator to operate within an effective diameter range of 20 - 30m around the tower, making it ideal for tasks in narrow mine galleries or tight dock areas where precision and space efficiency are crucial.​

When dealing with medium - sized electric excavators weighing 40 - 60t, the lower - outlet design with an electric reel mounted directly on the excavator provides versatility. With two cable - deployment options—manual remote control for flexible operation and automatic winding for seamless workflow—the equipment can cover an effective range of 100m. This solution is well - suited for open - pit mining operations and large - scale cargo handling at busy docks, where broader coverage and efficient cable management are essential.​

For heavy - duty electric excavators ≥60t, the lower- outlet combination of a cable car and a spring reel ensures reliable performance. Cable cars with capacities of 200m, 300m, or 500m, along with a 20 - 30m - capacity spring reel, enable operations within an expansive 150 - 200m range. This robust configuration excels in large - scale excavation projects in mines and heavy - load handling at major ports, meeting the demands of high - intensity industrial operations. By choosing the right Moteng equipment based on excavator weight and application scenarios, industries can achieve enhanced efficiency and safety.​
