The e-tract AC horizontal is an electrically powered, ceiling-mounted or track-mounted cable management system for AC charging points. It enables the charging cable to be extended and retracted automatically, thereby reducing the space required, the mechanical strain on the charging cable and the risks posed by charging cables lying around. The system fully encloses the charging cable within the housing when not in charging mode, thereby contributing to greater operational reliability and reduced maintenance requirements. The system's compact design makes it ideal for confined spaces, saving valuable room.
