Kan ik alleen de kapotte schakels laten vervangen?

Ja, als de schade plaatselijk is en de rest in orde. We vervangen in hele schakels van dezelfde serie, hetzelfde type en dezelfde radius.

Wanneer is een revisie zinvol?

Bij grote, zware of moeilijk bereikbare rupsen waar vervangen een flinke ingreep is. We demonteren, inspecteren, reinigen en vernieuwen wat versleten is.

Repareren jullie ook rupsen van andere merken?

We beoordelen elke rups. Zijn er geen passende onderdelen, dan adviseren we een vervanger uit ons assortiment met dezelfde binnenmaten en een passende radius.

Moeten de kabels ook vervangen worden?

Niet altijd. Zijn ze beschadigd, gedraaid of platgedrukt, dan wel. Een kabel vervangen we altijd door een nieuwe uit één stuk.

Hoe snel kunnen jullie helpen?

Veelgebruikte onderdelen liggen op voorraad in Ruurlo; besteld vóór 14:00 gaan ze meestal dezelfde dag de deur uit. Bij een storing bel je +31 88 002 3500.

Cable carrier overhaul and repair

Repair what you can,replace what you must.

A damaged cable carrier does not always need to be replaced completely. We assess what is broken, why it broke and what repair will achieve. If repair makes sense, we repair or overhaul; otherwise we supply a suitable replacement.

What we do

Overhaul & repair

Repair of links, crossbars, end connectors, cables and channel, or a complete overhaul of the carrier.

01
Links and crossbars
We replace broken links and crossbars with whole links of the same series, the same type and the same radius.
02
End connectors
We replace cracked or torn-off end connectors at the fixed point or driver, and check the alignment.
03
Replacing cables
We replace damaged cables with a cable in one piece, laid straight and without torsion, with new strain relief.
04
Guide channel and gliding shoes
A worn or crooked channel causes new damage. We align it, replace glide shoes or supply a new channel.
05
Complete overhaul
Dismantling, inspecting every part, cleaning and renewing what is worn, such as pins, holes and driver arms.

Approach

Sorted in four steps.

With one fixed contact person, from the first question to the last step.

01
Report
Send photos, the type number or a drawing. No type number? Then we measure it.
02
Assess
We determine what is broken, why, and whether repair or replacement is the best choice.
03
Restore
On site or at our premises, with parts from stock.
04
Back in operation
The carrier runs again, with advice on preventing the same damage.

The cause fixed, not just the damage
One point of contact from report to handover

In depth

Repair, overhaul or replace?

Repair pays off when the damage is local, the cables are in order and the cause has been removed. A few broken links after a collision, a torn-off end connector or one damaged cable: you fix that without replacing the whole carrier.

Replacement is better with wear over the full length, brittle or discoloured material, damage that returns after repair or a carrier that was chosen wrongly at the time. Then we look for a replacement with at least the same inner dimensions, a radius that is not tighter and outer dimensions that fit in the same place.

An overhaul sits in between. For large or hard-to-replace carriers, such as the stainless steel cable carrier of the Maeslantkering, we dismantle the carrier completely, inspect every part, clean it and renew what is worn. That way the existing carrier lasts again, without the intervention of a complete new build.

Just throw it over the fence

That is what we tell customers, and we mean it. You do not have to work out which link, type or cable it is. Send photos, a type number if you have one, or the carrier itself, and we will sort it out.

We establish what is needed: loose parts, a repair, an overhaul or a new carrier. You hear that in advance, with the reason. Frequently used Tsubaki Kabelschlepp parts are in stock in Ruurlo; ordered before 14:00 they usually ship the same day.

In an acute breakdown we act fast. For a Noble Drill drilling rig one of our specialists boarded a helicopter to assess the damage; we then arranged express delivery of the parts.

Damage rarely comes out of nowhere

A broken link is often a consequence, not a cause. A radius that is too tight, overloading, crooked mounting or a channel that is not aligned breaks the new link just as quickly. That is why we look at the cause with every repair.

If you first want to check yourself what is going on, use the troubleshooting guide: per symptom the causes and what you can do yourself. To prevent recurrence, periodic inspection is the next step.
