Abstract
The invention relates to an arrangement for the cable supply of a movable consumer, in particular in vertical applications, such as for example a drilling rig or the like. A main energy guide chain () guides at least one cable between a first connection point () and a second connection point () that is movable relative thereto, wherein said second connection point is moved between a first end position () and a second end position () of the consumer. According to the invention, a displaceable carriage () with an additional auxiliary energy guide chain () is provided for guiding the at least one cable between a third connection point () on the displaceable carriage and a stationary fourth connection point (). This allows a retraction of the main energy guide chain () between an operating position and a parking position.
