Span-Guard continuous copper conductor system with multiple collectors installed along an industrial crane runway

STRAIGHT-RUN POWER DELIVERY

The Original Jointless Conductor Bar

The Original Jointless Conductor

CONTINUOUS COPPER

A joint-free conductor run removes common points of resistance, power loss, and system failure.

BUILT FOR LONG SERVICE

A field-proven system designed for demanding industrial environments and continuous equipment movement.

CONFIGURED FOR THE APPLICATION

Available in multiple amperage ranges, environmental configurations, support arrangements, and collector options.

Span-Guard is the first and only continuous copper conductor system, eliminating the joints where resistance, power loss, and system failures commonly occur. It delivers dependable power along straight travel paths, even in demanding industrial environments.

Discuss Your Application

Curved industrial monorail with continuous conductor power and suspended moving equipment

CURVES & ROUTED PATHS

Continuous Copper that Follows the Route

Tri-Bar and Four-Bar extend continuous copper power delivery around curves, circles, transitions, and other routed travel paths—without the repeated splice points found in segmented conductor systems.

CUSTOM-FORMED FOR THE PATH

Configured around the specific route and direction changes required by the application.

CONTINUOUS COPPER

Maintains uninterrupted conductivity without the dead spots and repeated connections associated with spliced bar systems.

COMPACT AND ADAPTABLE

Its compact profile fits constrained spaces and applications where a straight conductor run is not possible.

MANAGED CABLE TRAVEL

Power Delivery that Moves with the Equipment

SpanGuard provides cable reel and festoon solutions for applications where power, control, or data cables must move with the equipment. The right system depends on travel distance, clearance, speed, and cable management.

CABLE REELS

Controlled Payout and Retraction

Cable reels store, pay out, and retrieve cable as equipment moves, providing organized take-up where suspended loops are impractical.

BEST FOR:

  • Longer travel distances

  • Limited loop clearance

FESTOON SYSTEMS

Supported Cable Travel

Festoon systems carry cable in suspended loops that extend and gather along a defined travel path.

BEST FOR:

  • Straight, defined runway travel

  • Adequate loop depth and clearance
