High Voltage Cabling with a Helping Hand from Rotrex

Rotrex recently supported work for our customer Yami-BV for a very important project at the high voltage substation in Etten-Leur, commissioned by SPIE Nederland BV.

The Challenge:

The work included the installation of several primary 150kV cables, and the choice of the CDT20 reel truck was crucial given the weights and dimensions of the cable reels. With a load capacity of 20 tons, this reel truck can transport reels on-site with a maximum diameter of 4.8 meters and a maximum width of 3.20 meters. 

The Solution:

Rotrex was on hand to support and supply Yami-BV with our CDT20 reel truck. Our CDT20 provided the necessary capacity and stability to get the job done safely and efficiently.

Rotrex Strengthens European Rental Fleet with UP40 and UP50 Winch Additions

Rotrex, a leading provider of winch hire, sales, and support services, announces a significant investment in expanding its European rental fleet with the addition of UP40 and UP50 winches manufactured by OMAC in Italy.

This investment further strengthens Rotrex’s position as the frontrunner in the winch rental market and caters to the growing demand for higher capacity winches, required across multiple diverse projects in industries including telecommunications and utilities.

Their lightweight structure and composite canopies further enhance their capability for safe towing on the highway and site.

Built with cutting-edge technology, the UP-range features onboard data recording for convenient data transmission and analysis. Customers also benefit from ongoing technical support, demonstrations and training from Rotrex’s expert team. Rotrex, renowned for its commitment to customer satisfaction, ensures prompt delivery throughout Europe.

Don Wilkinson – Rotrex Group’s Sales Director – stated: “We constantly analyse the market, focused on delivering the best solutions and supporting our customers’ project success.
