Multi-core polyurethane control cable for aerial work platforms

【Aerial Work Platform Control Cable, Polyurethane Multi-Core Flexible Cable, Wear-Resistant and Weather-Resistant Cable】 Shanghai Okesen Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. specializes in the research, development, and production of high-performance control cables, with extensive experience particularly in the fields of aerial work platform control cables and polyurethane multi-core flexible cables. This article will provide a detailed introduction from aspects such as material selection, manufacturing process, application scope, and installation precautions to help users fully understand the value and key selection points of high-quality control cables.

1. Selection and Advantages of Control Cable Materials

The performance of control cables largely depends on their materials. The aerial work platform control cables produced by Shanghai Okesen use highly flexible polyurethane sheathing material, which offers superior wear resistance and tear resistance compared to traditional materials, along with excellent oil resistance and weather resistance. Polyurethane material also has good UV resistance, effectively preventing aging in harsh outdoor environments and extending the cable's service life. This characteristic is particularly important for aerial work platforms, avoiding safety hazards caused by cable damage.

For conductors, high-purity oxygen-free copper is used to ensure stable signal transmission and low resistance. Additionally, the internal insulation layer is made of cross-linked polyethylene or specially formulated polyvinyl chloride, enhancing voltage resistance and moisture protection.

2. Manufacturing Process and Quality Assurance

We adopt advanced stranding technology to ensure tight and uniform arrangement of multi-core cable conductors, reducing electromagnetic interference and improving signal transmission accuracy. The multi-layer sheath structure design ensures a balance between mechanical strength and flexibility, enabling the cable to withstand repeated bending in multiple directions and meet the mobility requirements of aerial work platforms.

Each batch of cables undergoes rigorous voltage resistance tests, insulation tests, and bending life tests to ensure product stability and safety. Furthermore, the polyurethane sheath is treated with a special formula to meet national and industry standards for cold and heat resistance, ensuring normal operation in environments ranging from -40°C to +80°C.

3. Wide Range of Applications to Meet Diverse Needs

Due to their special performance, aerial work platform control cables are widely used in construction, logistics, outdoor maintenance, tower cranes, and stage equipment. Polyurethane multi-core flexible cables, with their friction resistance and tensile strength, are also suitable for scenarios requiring frequent movement, such as robotic automation, handling equipment, and port machinery.

These cables can fully adapt to outdoor environments, resisting rain, UV rays, and windblown sand, ensuring continuous and stable operation of equipment.

4. Installation Precautions and Detailed Tips

When installing aerial work platform control cables, the following points should be noted:

1. Avoid excessive twisting of the cable, especially when the bending radius is less than three times the cable’s outer diameter. Handle with care to prevent internal conductor breakage.

2. Do not use excessive force when securing the cable to avoid damaging the sheath.

3. Cable interfaces should be well-sealed to prevent moisture ingress, which could affect performance.

4. Avoid contact between the cable and sharp objects. Use protective sleeves if necessary.

5. Choose appropriate sheath materials and installation methods based on environmental temperature and humidity.

Proper installation can significantly extend the cable’s service life and ensure the safety of aerial work.

5. Important Details and Recommendations

Many users overlook the dynamic load capacity of cables. During frequent stretching and dragging in aerial work, low-quality cables are prone to core breakage or sheath rupture. The use of polyurethane sheathing and optimized core materials can significantly reduce this risk.

Additionally, weather resistance is often neglected in service life evaluations. Shanghai Okesen Cables places special emphasis on this aspect, as outdoor environmental changes greatly impact normal operation. Cables with poor weather resistance are prone to premature failure, leading to equipment downtime.

We recommend strictly comparing samples during procurement, observing the flexibility and surface smoothness of the sheath, and checking for signs of brittleness or hardening. Pay attention to the manufacturer’s production capabilities and after-sales service. Choosing a reputable and experienced company like Shanghai Okesen Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. will provide customers with a more reliable and worry-free user experience.

Conclusion

Aerial work platform control cables and polyurethane multi-core flexible cables are critical components for ensuring the safe and stable operation of various equipment. By selecting high-quality materials, combining scientific manufacturing processes, and ensuring proper installation, these cables can deliver excellent wear resistance and weather resistance, meeting diverse application needs.
