Hydraulic and electrical winches

A winch is a mechanical device that is used to pull in (wind up) or let out (wind out) or otherwise adjust the "tension" of a rope or wire rope (also called "cable" or "wire cable").

Features (depending on model)
  • Multi-disc brake, spring-applied and hydraulically released
  • Large selection of high efficiency motor options (low flow/high flow)
  • Anti-friction bearings throughout, all parts running in oil
  • Overrunning clutch preventing fall-back
  • Patented brake valve for smooth lowering of the load
  • Full load wire rope anchor for additional safety
  • Planetary gears with different ratios to suit individual applications
  • High tensile cast iron drum and housing in one piece
  • Dual rating for Utility and Personnel
  • Designed in accordance with ANSI/ASME B30.5 & B30.7
  • 5:1 design factor for Utility Hoisting at rated load
  • 8:1 design factor for Personnel
  • Enclosed oil bath, "wet" disc brake for outstanding load control
  • Exclusive overrunning clutch prevents fall-back
  • Winch mounted throttle
  • Marine Grade polysiloxane paint

Applications

Drilling, mobile and stationary crane applications, pipe bearings, forest industry, diggers, marine applications, offshore applications respectively applications with explosion protection, caterpillars, tracked vehicles
