| Track Length |
Total Length of festoon track or I-Beam. |
| System Length |
Total extended length of festoon system. Centerline of end cable clamp to centerline of tow trolley/tow bar. |
| Storage Length |
Distance from centerline of tow trolley to centerline of end cable clamp when festooned equipment is parked in the starting position. Storage distance may become exceedingly long on longer festoon systems but can be shortened by increasing the loop depth of the cable. |
| Active Travel |
Actual tow trolley travel distance of festooned equipment from the starting position to the final position along the track length. |
| System Depth |
The distance from the running surface of the track or I-Beam to the lowest point of the cable loop. |
| Loop Depth |
The distance from the trolley saddle surface to the lowest point of the cable loop. |
| Tow Trolley |
Outer trolley that provides an area to interface with the tow bar that is mounted on the traveling portion of the festooned equipment. |
| Intermediate Trolley |
Trolleys are located between the tow trolley and the end cable clamp providing cable support as system expands. |
| Fixed Hanger/End Cable Clamp |
Secures cable at the beginning of the festoon system, reducing cable stress at the termination points. |
| Tow Cable/Chain |
Cable or chain secured between each trolley to reduce cable stress along the festoon system. |
