The contribution of the Cavotec Group to the mechanisation and containerisation of ports and terminals started in 1963 with the development of advanced cable reeling systems. Soon after, Cavotec developed Panzerbelt, an innovative system to completely protect cables while speeding up crane operation.
Today, 30% of all new ship-to-shore cranes are equipped with these cable reels and there are hundreds of Panzerbelt installations at major ports and terminals around the world.
The Cavotec Group also supplies other well-known equipment for use in ports and terminals such as MoorMaster automated mooring systems, crane runway products, marine propulsion slipring columns, electrical power connectors, power chains, permanent elevators and crane controllers.
