Are There Disadvantages to Using Energy Chain Electrification?

On most crane systems, the cost of implementing an energy chain electrification system can be higher upfront than a traditional festoon, conductor bar, or cable reel system. Traditional electrification systems can be more cost-effective than energy chain on indoor cranes with a lower usage and lower duty cycle.

Also, careful thought has to be given to whether you want to use push button pendant or remote radio controls on your overhead crane system. On cranes using push button style controls, the pendant still has to be festooned to the crane or located off of the hoist or bridge panel. At this time, energy chain systems are most compatible with radio remote control systems.
