Efficient Energy and Cable Infrastructure for Bus Depots & Bus Workshops
For bus depots and bus workshops, the LineDrop system offers a well-thought-out solution for safe and efficient cable management. The overhead routing of charging cables keeps the floor clear and significantly reduces the risk of tripping and cable damage. This allows vehicles to be positioned more closely together and workflows within the depot to be noticeably optimized. The system is versatile in its application and ideally suited for modern charging infrastructures in daily operations. The result is a future-oriented, space-saving, and user-friendly solution for the demanding day-to-day depot environment.

Control options
The LineDrop system can be operated manually according to the customer's preferences. We recommend push buttons, pull-cord switches, or reflective sensors. Alternatively, the system can be integrated into a higher-level control system via an external normally open contact.

Frequently Asked Questions About LineDrop
The LineDrop system is an automatic cable and hose routing system designed for industrial applications. It enables safe, organized, and convenient overhead cable management. Its main advantage lies in its high flexibility: virtually any cable or hose can be used—regardless of current or medium.
Typical applications include:
- Bus depots
- Workshops
- Logistics and freight forwarding facilities
- Fueling and filling stations
- Industrial buildings
The system can be used flexibly for:
- Charging cables (e.g., CCS Type 2)
- Megawatt charging cables
- Compressed air or exhaust hoses
- Fluid lines
Since no slip ring transmission is used, any type of hose or cable can be routed.
The system significantly improves workplace safety by neatly routing cables and hoses and preventing cables from lying loose on the floor. This greatly reduces the risk of tripping and accidents. The system is electrically powered—no manual effort is required. The system operates using a motor.
Depending on the configuration, operation is performed via:
- Push button
- Pull cord switch
- Reflective sensor
- External normally open contact
Control is typically sequential (Up / Stop / Down via a single channel).
In the event of a malfunction or power outage, the system can be unlocked using the built-in emergency release and continued to be operated manually. The system can be easily unlocked from the ground using a special telescopic arm.
Yes, it can be easily retrofitted. The system can be seamlessly integrated into existing infrastructure.
Yes, it is tailored precisely to your requirements, such as bend radius, weight, or cable type.
No. The system is largely maintenance-free.
Drives and replacement parts for the rail system are usually available from stock.
The control system can be flexibly expanded using an optional universal transmitter board. This allows additional input and output signals to be integrated and individually programmed. For example, it is possible to process external signals or connect additional components such as light signals and extra switching points.
Connection to an external control system is also possible in principle. In this case, input signals can be received, and output signals can be specifically transmitted and processed.
