Drag chain systems are used for a wide range of applications and travel distances. EKD Systems has the right solution for every application: from self-supporting drag chains for short distances to gliding drag chains for longer distances. Our range also includes special slide shoes to reduce wear and channel systems to guide the chains. Even for very long movement distances and high additional loads, the Marathon system is a reliable solution. Light and versatile solution for mechanical engineering. Due to their production method, these drag chains are inexpensive and quick to manufacture.
