Charging Cable Reel for Electric Commercial Vehicles
The Charging Cable Reel is designed for overhead DC fast charging applications where safe, organized, and reliable cable management is essential. It keeps heavy-duty charging cables off the ground and away from vehicle and pedestrian paths, helping create a clear and hazard-free charging environment.
The system is suitable for a wide range of commercial electric vehicle applications, including electric buses, vans, and trucks, as well as public transport and commercial vehicle depots.
When a vehicle arrives at the charging position, the charging connector can be lowered from the overhead position for connection to the vehicle. After charging, the cable can be retracted and stored overhead, keeping the charging area clear and organized.
Safe and Controlled Cable Operation
For enhanced safety, the charging reel can be operated by a push-button control. The cable is lowered and raised at controlled low speed, with limited torque and defined end positions. This helps prevent sudden movements and reduces the risk of damage to the charging connector, cable, or surrounding equipment.
The system can also be integrated with the charging station to enable charger–reel interlocking, helping prevent unsafe operation during charging
Robust Mechanical Design
Designed for demanding commercial vehicle charging environments, the reel features a robust industrial-grade structure suitable for frequent and heavy-duty operation.
- Dedicated cable outlet: Guides and protects the charging cable during extension and retraction, helping reduce cable wear and extend service life.
- Heavy-duty construction: Designed for the repeated loading and operating conditions of commercial vehicle charging.
- Flexible installation: Suitable for customized deployment according to the site layout and charging position.
- Outdoor-ready configuration: Can be configured for outdoor applications where enhanced environmental protection is required.
Smooth and Reliable Operation
The electrical control system provides controlled acceleration and deceleration for smooth cable movement, particularly near the end positions. This helps protect the charging connector and mechanical components from impact.
Wide-voltage power supply capability enables stable operation in industrial power environments.
High-Reliability Core Components
The Charging Cable Reel is built around high-reliability slip rings designed to support high static charging currents over long-term operation.
Key components are selected for durability and low maintenance, helping reduce downtime and overall maintenance requirements.
Applications
The Charging Cable Reel is suitable for a wide range of electric commercial vehicle charging applications:
- Public transport depots
- Electric bus charging
- Electric van charging
- Electric truck charging
It is particularly suitable for overhead DC fast charging systems where heavy charging cables need to be safely managed while keeping the charging area clear and accessible.
Configuration Information
1. Charging Cable
- Rated current: Please specify the rated current of the CCS2 charging cable.
- Cable length: Please confirm the required overall length of the charging cable, for example, 7 m.
Note: The CCS2 charging cable is normally supplied and assembled by us before shipment to ensure proper compatibility with the cable reel and charging system.
2. Cable Extension Length
Required extension length: Please specify the required cable extension length according to your installation layout and charging position.
Note: The cable extension length needs to be confirmed before production, as the cable and reel assembly is completed before shipment.
