Port technology

In port technology, extreme loads, high travel speeds under load and compact designs place particular demands on the materials used. The hot cast elastomers from P+S, in particular Diepothan®, Diepocell® and Vulkocell®, have been developed specifically for these challenges. Thanks to their high wear resistance and excellent damping properties, they are ideal for use in port and crane systems.

Diepocell® crane stop buffers offer effective damping combined with high volume compressibility — a decisive advantage in tight installation situations. Diepocell® products are resistant to hydrolysis and are therefore ideally suited for use in humid or tropical climates, which ensures their reliability and durability even under extreme environments.

Heavy-duty Diepothan® wheels and rollers are ideal for cable trolleys and gantry cranes, where they offer reliable performance at high speeds and constant changes of direction. P+S products, such as Diepothan® and Vulkollan® rollers for cable tractors or fenders as a mooring aid for ships, contribute to smooth functioning and safety in port environments.
Small Vulkocell® end stops for chain hoists and large Diepocell® stop buffers with integrated steel plate are examples of the tailor-made solutions that P+S offers for the demanding requirements of global crane construction and lifting technology.
