The most efficient lifting equipment in the enterprises

The winch is one of the main technical means, used in industry. It is used for lifting and moving various loads.. For this, a steel cable is used.. It can be fixed on the winch drum or on a special hook.. Depending on the design, winches can have a different drum design.. The drum must be strong, to prevent breakage. When choosing a winch, you need to pay attention to its technical characteristics..

Equipment technical capabilities

There are winches:

• manual,
• electrical,
• hydraulic,
• pneumatic,
• electric motor.

Hand winches do not have a drive, they work at the expense of human muscle power, which the, pushing the lever, rotates the winch drum. Electric winches are mains operated. Hydraulic - using a hydraulic drive. Pneumatic - using compressed air. The electric motor winch is driven by an electric motor. To work at height, complete with winches, special mechanisms are often used., eg, hoist.

The winch can be stationary or portable. The stationary winch is installed on a certain support and fixed on it with the help of special devices.. The portable winch is placed on the trolley and can be moved on various surfaces. It can be installed on a car, tractors, trailer or other vehicle.

What to look out for

Winches are stationary and mobile. Stationary winches are installed in places, where there is no way to dodge. They have great power and load capacity., but have limited mobility. Mobile winches are lightweight and portable.

Besides, they are electrically powered, which makes it possible to simplify the control of the winch. The winch is an indispensable equipment in a car service, on construction sites, in industry. Depending on the design, winches can be manual., mechanical, electric, rope, drums and others. The winch is used to lift and lower loads., slinging and engagement of parts and assemblies, installation of various structures, etc.. d. Hand winches are used in various industries and agriculture. Electric winches are designed to move loads horizontally in industrial environments.
