Tratos and ZPMC cooperation

TRATOS supplies PSA Voltri in Genoa with the TRATOSFLEX range of cables for main power cable reel and spreader cable reels. It includes supplies on its STS and on its more recently acquired 14 E-RTG brand ZPMC  with automatic plug in system for its cable reels.

Tratosflex ESDB, was specifically designed for high-speed reeling. Tratosflex features a unique internal cable design, with the structure tightened against the internal relative movement. This prevents the cable from twisting and leading to possible breakage – extremely dangerous when reeling at speeds up to 300m/m. As a result of this sophisticated, reliable design, ZPMC has teamed up with Tratos on Automation projects at Ports & Terminals involving ASC or E-RTG running at high speeds.
