More about LEBUS® Germany
More than the LEBUS® groove
From the groove to the LEBUS®-System
Professionals know LEBUS® because the original LEBUS® groove has been an integral part of the heavy-duty industry for decades. Since the first groove, which was used on Frank L. LeBus sen. Texas oil production facilities, its shape and design have stood the test of time. Thanks to the LEBUS® groove, wire ropes or cables can be accurately spooled in multiple layers under the most extreme conditions and the highest loads. This guarantees maximum safety during spooling, extends the service life of the wire ropes and enables rope spooling systems in all sizes, diameters and for all rope loads – even on relatively small drums. All this makes the LEBUS® system the original!
