Smarter and cleaner power for port cranes
Crane electrification and automation are key aspects of modernisation in ports and terminals.
Cavotec motorised cable reels are integrated in all potential ports crane applications, at the quay, at the yard or at the intermodal terminal.
Our battery storage systems for RTG cranes increase energy efficiency, allowing zero emission operations - for block changes, hybrid power, or full battery operation.
Why Cavotec?
Innovative technologies
Our advanced solutions, including motorised cable reels, battery storage systems, cable protection, and power connection systems, are engineered with an application-first focus.
Durable performance
Built for the harshest port and terminal environments, Cavotec systems ensure long-lasting reliability and safe operation.
Turnkey expertise
From design to execution, Cavotec delivers complete crane electrification retrofits that maximise efficiency and minimise downtime.
Global support
With a worldwide presence and local service teams, we provide effective integration and ongoing support wherever our customers operate.
Motorised reels
Cavotec motorised reels ensure safe, continuous and controlled transfer of power, data and fluids to mobile machinery operating in the world’s toughest environments — from ports and steel mills to mines and tunnelling projects.
Built for long service life, low maintenance and precise torque control, Cavotec reels are engineered for both intermittent and continuous operations, delivering efficiency and safety across every industry.
Battery Energy Storage
PowerAccESS battery energy storage solutions allow RTG cranes to operate with zero emissions. Configurable for block change operation, hybrid power, to full battery electric with AC or DC power interface.
Connection points and automated plug-in
Cavotec delivers a complete range of connection point and automated plug-in solutions that enable safe, efficient, and unmanned connection of mobile equipment to power and data. From robust fixed connection points to our latest Automatic Plug-in System (APS) and Smart Plug-in System (SPS), we support the electrification of E-RTGs, electric vessels, and other mobile industrial assets with minimal yard modifications and easy integration into existing infrastructure.
Built on Cavotec’s proven cable reel technology, these systems reduce operating costs, enhance productivity through reliable high-speed data and video transmission, and enable optimised, predictable operations via Cavotec SCADA. Together, they ensure fast, reliable, and safer connections that keep your operations running at peak performance.
Turnover anchor
Turnover Anchor systems guide and protect reeling cables in applications where the cable needs to reverse direction or transition between horizontal and vertical movement.
Panzerbelt
Panzerbelt is a proven cable protection system designed to safeguard power cables from mechanical damage, debris, and spillage in ports, container terminals, shipyards, and heavy industry sites.
Cables and hose
We partner with trusted, leading cable manufacturers to supply both standard and specialised cables and cables assemblies.
