Steel Material Specifications & Details
The specific type of steel material used in KabelSchlepp Varitrak S cable and hose carrier side-bands and various system brackets and accessories, is dependent upon the systems' or accessories' intended application and operating environment. The standard design material is zinc-plated steel which can be used for standard loads. For higher loads, steel can be chrome-plated, nitrogen hardened, etc. In the case of non-standard/custom applications, high-grade stainless steel options are available.
