Special Cables / Reeling Cables - Tratosflex

TRATOSMART® – NSHTÖU – JZ; TRATOSMART® – (N)SHTÖU-JZK; TRATOSGREEN® – (N)SHTÖU-JZ manufactured according to standard VDE 0250 p.814 (as applicable) are TRATOS designed and manufactured flexible low voltage control cables for installation on cable reels fitted to all kind of cranes used for material handling. These were designed and developed in response to the requirement for cables with reduced dimensions suitable for being laid on the ground in cable reeling applications, which are especially recommended for end-feed applications. TRATOSMART® – NSHTÖU-JZ — TRATOSMART® – (N)SHTÖU-JZK — TRATOSGREEN® – (N)SHTÖU-JZ are members of the highly flexible range of crane cables for control and communication in applications where the cable moves in operation.TRATOSGREEN – (N)SHTOU-JZ (Reduced halogens and reduced toxicity) cables are recommended for applications where enhanced fire performance (LSZH) is required. The unique design of these cables focuses on tightening the internal structure, granting the cable exceptional strength and flexibility in a cable with reduced outer diameter; this design prevents twisting and breakage and lasts longer under constant severe operating conditions, thus providing a reliable control and communication link to the equipment it is connected to.

Tratos NSHTÖU design features are special extra flexible Class 5 conductors, Tratosmart-I® insulation, which is equivalent to or better than EPR 3GI3 quality and a choice of sheathing compounds, Tratosmart-OS® 5GM3 or the higher duty 5GM5, both based upon the award-winning Tratos-JBA® compound technology. All Tratosflex cables designed for reeling duty include an anti-torsion braid embedded in the sheath to prevent twisting in service. TRATOSGREEN – (N)SHTOU-JZ features a Low Smoke Zero Halogen sheath having the same robust characteristics as the other Tratos sheathing compounds.

Although supplied as standard in a multicore multilayer design, multipair screened designs for special signalling applications are available upon special request.
TRATOSMART NSHTÖU and TRATOSGREEN NSHTÖU are frequently used as a communication cable and are recommended for various types of mobile equipment used in port, mining, shipyards and other industrial sectors; they can be found providing communication to STS container cranes, Ship Unloaders (SU), Stacker Reclaimer (SR), Multipurpose Cranes or different types of Cranes used in Ports or Shipyards. They are also used as control cables on other types of moving machinery in fields such as steel mills and automotive and machine tools.

Today, TRATOSFLEX cables are installed in more than 300 ports and terminals worldwide, including manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic yards. These are some of the most demanding applications for prestigious global operators. Its unique construction and the materials used in its manufacture make this cable suitable for communications on many types of cranes.

The letters in “NSHTÖU” and “(N)SHTÖU” refer to specific properties and construction elements of the cable in accordance with German cable designations:

  1. N – Norm (Standard) cable according to German standards (VDE, DIN).
  2. (N)  – means not exactly in accordance with a National Standard, what we would call “generally to”
  3. SH Sheathed flexible cable for high mechanical stresses
    1. S – Heavy-duty rubber-sheathed cable (Schwer, meaning “heavy”).
    2. H – Highly flexible (Hohe Flexibilität).
  4. T – Means either Trailing cable (general) or Strain-bearing element
  5. ÖU – Oil-and fire-resistant (actually what we would call Flame retardant)
    1. Ö – Oil resistant (Ölbeständig).
    2. U – Fire-resisting (Flame retardant)

Together, NSHTÖU describes a highly flexible, heavy-duty, oil-resistant cable suitable for reeling and reinforced for rugged industrial applications.​
