About

Insul-8

SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1902, DELACHAUX has been a leading international presence in the business of conducting electricity to industrial equipment and transit systems. As the Delachaux arm in North and South America, Insul 8 Corporation (formerly Insul 8 and Industrial Electric Reels, Inc.--a.k.a. IER) carries on the tradition of innovation and excellence. Insul 8 and IER became part of the Delachaux Group in 1975 and officially became one company on December 31, 1996. Each company has its own rich history. Industrial Electric Reels, Inc. began in 1924 with the founding of Industrial Electric Works (IEW), an electrical contractor based in Omaha, Nebraska. After World War II, IEW began the manufacture of electric cable reeling equipment and started IER as its operating division in 1948. IER's first cable reel, the hand-wind PORT-O-REEL, was quickly followed by light duty spring retractable cable reels. Through the early years, IER pioneered the development of cable reeling devices and slip rings. Soon the business moved into larger, custom built motor-driven reels and stand-alone slip rings. IER's reputation spread as a quality manufacturer of reels running the gamut from small commercial duty reels to large custom-built reels for the most demanding applications such as container cranes, stacker/reclaimers and bulk material ship unloaders and loaders. Insul 8 Corporation has been a pioneer in light metal, safe, covered conductor systems for the material handling industry since 1944. Insul 8 was the first company to design and produce a stainless steel capped aluminum conductor and the only manufacturer of such a product for almost 20 years. Right now, there are over 20 million meters of Insul 8 contact conductors and tens of thousands of collecting devices throughout the world. Every major port in the United States is using Insul 8's aluminum/stainless steel contact conductors on its container cranes due to its dependability under the most severe conditions. Insul 8 Corporation has been in the business of supplying power from stationary sources to mobile systems for a greater part of this century. Insul 8's cable reels, slip rings, conductor bar, festoon systems and pendants are used in a wide variety of applications ranging from material handling and mass transit systems to water treatment plants and performing arts theaters.
