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.
