Spanguard Expands Conductor System Range

Spanguard Corporation has purchased a compact, highly versatile conductor system from Starline, a LeGrand Corporation brand.

Spanguard recently acquired Tri-Bar / Four-Bar system offers ratings ranging from 30 to 125 amps. The product is commonly used in various types of assembly line manufacturing, aircraft hangar doors, amusement park rides, work-stations and monorails.

Having a total cross section of 2” (50.8mm) by 2.5” (63.5mm), with four conductors, the product is ideal for fitting in narrow spaces, such as under a monorail flange. As with the Spanguard conductor bar, the Tri-Bar / Four-Bar employs continuous, jointless, copper conductor for durability and reliability. The Tri-Bar and Four-Bar are from the same product family with the same parts except for the housing. The Tri-Bar has three conductors, and the Four-Bar has four.

The product is commonly used in various types of assembly line manufacturing, aircraft hangar doors, amusement park rides, work-stations and monorails.

Richard Warriner, vice president at Spanguard, said: “Spanguard [U-S Safety Trolley] was the first continuous, joint-free electric conductor system. We purchased the higher [250- and 520-amp] conductor systems nearly 12 months ago; we decided on the purchase primarily due to its reputation for durability and reliability, resulting from their use of a continuous, jointless, copper conductor. Joints cause 95% of the problems with electrification systems. It is a natural next step for us to expand the line with the Tri-Bar / Four-Bar systems.”

Spanguard Corporation has purchased a compact, highly versatile conductor system from Starline, a LeGrand Corporation brand.

Spanguard, a specialist in crane runway conductor systems, will target the new 30- to 125-amp system at a myriad of vertical marketplaces, including manufacturers of major appliances, aircraft hangar doors, automated systems, amusement park rides, automotive vehicles and parts, and material handling equipment.

Warriner added: “Business has been amazing. We knew the former U-S Safety Trolley range from LeGrand was a premium product when we considered purchasing it. We also knew the customers deserve premium support — and we built our model on providing it. What we hadn’t necessarily expected, was the immediate acceptance and dozens of customers expressing gratitude for bringing the product back to life.”
