The layout of a Linear Cable Engine (LCE) can be configured in several ways. HICE has chosen a split design in which the tensioning unit and hydraulic power unit (HPU) are separated.

This allows the HPU to be positioned at a distance from the working area, reducing noise levels and minimising the required deck space.

The tensioning unit features a top-loading design, making cable loading and unloading easier while also simplifying the handling of end connections and potential joints.
