TEBAOFLEX YSLTOE-J Spreader Basket Cable is designed for container crane spreader systems using gravity-feed collector baskets. In these applications, the cable moves repeatedly with the spreader and must withstand vertical movement, cable weight, mechanical stress and outdoor port conditions.
The cable is commonly used on high-speed container cranes, gantry cranes and ship-to-shore handling equipment. It supports control and signal transmission between the crane system and the spreader, helping operate locking mechanisms, feedback circuits and auxiliary control functions.
Compared with ordinary control cable, YSLTOE-J uses a special basket cable construction with flexible copper conductors, thermoplastic insulation, central support elements and a halogen-free PUR outer sheath. The PUR sheath provides good resistance to abrasion, oil, moisture, ozone and outdoor exposure.
Typical Construction
- Conductor: Class 5 flexible stranded copper conductor
- Insulation: Thermoplastic compound
- Core arrangement: Cores laid up in bundles around central support
- Support element: Central Kevlar / strength member structure
- Basket design: Lead ball rope or weighted support structure, subject to design
- Outer sheath: Halogen-free PUR polyurethane
- Sheath color: Black or customized
- Type:
YSLTOE-J, with green/yellow protective earth core

FAQ
What is YSLTOE-J cable used for?
YSLTOE-J is used as a spreader basket control cable for high-speed container cranes with gravity-feed collector basket systems.
What does “J” mean in YSLTOE-J?
The “J” version includes a green/yellow protective earth core. The “O” version usually means without green/yellow earth core.
How should YSLTOE-J be installed?
It should be installed torsion-free and laid into the collector basket in the correct direction, commonly counter-clockwise. The basket diameter should be checked according to cable OD and crane system requirements.
