Material handling operations have to be nimble in getting goods to consumers and end users. For example, warehouses are increasingly becoming more modular in nature, enabling them to change over and reconfigure quickly. As material handling operations adapt and change, they need flexible, reliable cables that can take a beating in harsh industrial environments.
You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.
At SAB, we provide quality, customizable cables to satisfy a broad range of material handling equipment types like robots and automated systems, mobile cranes, lifting trucks and festoon systems.
Here are some of the highlights in our offering:
- Data and control cables for high-speed applications: Suitable for monitoring plant and robot applications in assembly lines and automation plants, these cables have a small minimum bending radius, reinforced outer jacket and very good flexibility. SAB data and control cables pass stringent oil tests and also feature good abrasion resistance and fire performance. Multi-conductor cables are also available in PVC- and PUR-jacketed versions.
- Power cables for cable tracks: These continuously flexible single conductor and multi-conductor, 600-V cables with UL/CSA approval for use in cable tracks are well-suited for packaging machines, assembly lines and automation plants. Features include good oil and abrasion resistance and good fire performance. Certain cables feature overall copper screen shielding and UV-resistant jacketing.
- Festoon cables. Designed to withstand high mechanical stresses, Festoon 715 P and 716 CP halogen-free flexible cables stand up to weather and abrasion and offer cable roller assemblies a path feed rate of up to 240 meters per minute. The shielded 716 CP’s tinned copper braiding exhibits good EMC characteristics. Festoon-type cables offer flat construction for stacking inside space-constrained applications.
- Reeling cables. SAB reeling cables take advantage of PUR jacket materials to offer high tensile strength, high tear strength and notch and abrasion resistance. Features include small outer diameters and light cable weights, path feed rates of 120 meters per minute and flame retardancy. Certain cables in this series offer extremely high winding and unwinding strength, compliance with CE 72/23/EWG low-voltage requirements, shielding for EMC protection and sunlight resistance. The family also offers an offshore cable and a spreader cable with a 240 meters per minute feed rate.
- Spreader cable. Used for load-lift equipment with high mechanical stress in gravity-fed vertical basket operations, the Spreader 722 PUR-jacketed control cable features PVC insulation, as well as oil and weather resistance.
- Lift control cables. SABIX® halogen-free cables offer low smoke generation, low toxicity and low corrosiveness for applications with high safety requirements. Cables are designed with either a rope or steel-supporting member for applications with longer lengths.

Power and control cables are the most common electrical cables used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications for power supply and signal transmission.
What is a power cable? A power cable is an assembly of one or more electrical conductors that transfer energy from its source – it’s usually the primary cable used to make its operating equipment work.
What is a control cable? Control cables are single or multiconductor cables that transfer data to other devices for measurement, regulation, and automation control.
