Festoon can hang from a track or run on the floor through a plastic "gator" track.
For hanging festoon applications, the cables hang on trolleys and the trolleys are supported by track. Milnor uses 14 ga and 12 ga track. 14 ga is no longer used but repair parts are available. If the 14 ga parts are worn and require replacement we recommend a 12 gauge replacement.
