What are TROMMELFLEX CABLES?

The Trommelflex PUR-HF is a halogen-free, heavy-duty reeling cable designed for applications involving high mechanical stress, such as cable reels (including vertical operation), hoisting devices, conveyor systems, mobile motors, rail motors, and agricultural equipment. Its robust construction and material properties make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, even in challenging environments.
