Cable reel for National Crane PAT

The cable reel 68200060002 serves as a mechanical device for storing and managing electrical or data cabling in dynamic crane applications. It enables the controlled extension and retraction of cables, preventing tangles, abrasion, or excessive stretching during operation. This component is integrated into the PAT load monitoring and safety system of National Crane cranes, where it ensures reliable transmission of power and data from sensors located on the boom or other mobile sections to the main control unit.

This unit is compatible with the National Crane PAT system. Cable reels of this type are designed to maintain continuous electrical contact and signal transmission while the crane boom changes length or angle. By housing the cable within a protected mechanism, the reel prevents damage that could lead to signal interruption or erroneous readings in the load moment indicator. Proper operation of this component is necessary for the accurate monitoring of load, radius, and boom angle parameters, which are central to the safety functions of the crane. Regular inspection of the reel mechanism and the internal cabling is recommended to ensure consistent performance and operational safety.
