When it comes to vertical platform lifts, industrial hoists, and high-speed reeling systems, the choice of cable can make or break operational efficiency and safety. PUR-HF Lift Trailing Cable 0.6/1kV is designed specifically to withstand extreme mechanical stresses while providing reliable electrical performance. But what sets this cable apart from conventional lift or festoon cables? How does it perform in real-world applications, and which configurations best fit your industrial needs?
What Is a PUR-HF Lift Trailing Cable and Why Is It Important?
A PUR-HF Lift Trailing Cable is a specialized vertical reeling cable designed to operate under high mechanical stress, torsion, tension, and torque. Unlike standard power cables, it is engineered for dynamic applications such as vertical lifts, hoists, and festoon systems.
Key advantages include:
High mechanical resilience: Built to withstand torsion ±25º/m and tensile loads up to 30 N/mm².
Wide temperature range: Operates from -50°C to +90°C in fixed installations and -40°C to +90°C for mobile use.
High travel speed compatibility: Supports festoon and reeling speeds up to 200m/min horizontally and 150m/min vertically.
Safety compliance: Meets international standards including IEC 60228, DIN VDE 0293-308, IEC 60502, and flame-retardant standards like IEC 60332-1.
This combination makes PUR-HF Lift Trailing Cable particularly suitable for industrial lifts, mining hoists, and automated warehouse systems, where safety and durability are non-negotiable.
How Does the PUR-HF Lift Trailing Cable Compare with Other Lift Cables?
When selecting a vertical reeling cable, users often compare PUR-HF with standard PVC or non-halogen cables.
Feature | PUR-HF Lift Trailing Cable | Standard PVC Lift Cable |
|---|---|---|
Mechanical Stress | ±25° torsion/m, 30 N/mm² tensile | Limited torsion, lower tensile strength |
Temperature Range | -50°C to +90°C (fixed) | -20°C to +70°C |
Fire Safety | Halogen-free, flame-retardant | May release toxic gases |
Abrasion & Chemical Resistance | Excellent | Moderate |
Travel Speed | Up to 200 m/min | 100–120 m/min |
Service Life | Long, low maintenance | Shorter in harsh conditions |
Clearly, PUR-HF offers superior mechanical resilience, thermal performance, and fire safety, making it a preferred choice for demanding vertical reeling applications.
Where Is the PUR-HF Lift Trailing Cable Used in Applications?
Industrial Vertical Lifts
Used in factories and warehouses, the cable powers vertical platforms, lifts, and hoists, enduring constant bending and torsion.
Mining Hoists
In underground mining, the cable withstands harsh conditions like dust, water, and mechanical impact, ensuring safe power delivery.
Festoon & Automated Systems
For overhead cranes, automated storage, and retrieval systems, PUR-HF allows smooth horizontal and vertical travel, high speed, and reliability.
Case Study: Indonesia
A leading mining company in East Kalimantan replaced its conventional PVC trailing cables with PUR-HF Lift Trailing Cable on vertical lifts. Within six months, maintenance incidents dropped by 40%, while reeling speed efficiency increased by 25%. The cable’s abrasion resistance and halogen-free insulation minimized downtime and improved worker safety.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between PUR-HF Lift Trailing Cable and standard PVC trailing cables?
Answer: PUR-HF is halogen-free, flame-retardant, and highly resistant to abrasion and torsion, while standard PVC cables are less durable, release toxic gases in fires, and perform poorly in high-speed or vertical applications.
Can PUR-HF cables be used for outdoor vertical lifts?
Answer: Yes, the outer sheath resists UV exposure, chemicals, and abrasion, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor lifts.
What is the maximum speed for vertical reeling applications?
Answer: Up to 150 m/min vertically and 200 m/min horizontally, suitable for high-speed lifts and automated systems.
How do I choose the right core size?
Answer: Select based on current carrying capacity, mechanical load, and length of travel. For heavy industrial lifts, 25 mm² or 35 mm² cores are commonly used.
How long can PUR-HF Lift Trailing Cable last in continuous operation?
Answer: With proper installation and maintenance, the cable can last 10–15 years, depending on environmental and mechanical conditions.
Can PUR-HF cables be spliced if damaged?
Answer: Splicing is possible but should be done by certified technicians using proper connectors. Direct replacement is recommended for maximum safety.
