Process duty open winch rated for loads between 6300 and 80 000 kg

Overview

Performance built for process duty.

Designed for high-capacity lifting up to 80 tonnes, PDW is a process duty open winch built for applications where lifting performance, control and long-term reliability matter most. True vertical lift, extended speed range (ESR) technology and variable trolley speed control combine to support both safe load handling and efficient cycle times. Its modular open winch design and built-in safety features make PDW a robust lifting solution for process cranes and heavy industrial operations.

Innovation

Innovation engineered for process duty lifting.

Advanced open winch engineering meets process duty lifting in PDW, which combines a modular machinery concept with technical optimizations built for high-capacity, high-frequency operation. Bending forces caused by the load are largely eliminated through its floating hoisting machinery suspension, while an optimized gearbox and rope drum connection reduce misalignment and support long component lifetime. Fast movement without load, plus controlled, high-torque travel under load, help PDW improve productivity, safety and reliability across process crane applications.

Key benefits
Safety, productivity and long-term reliability come together in PDW, a heavy-duty process duty open winch solution. Its high-torque hoisting brake, overload and overspeed protection, and safe working period monitoring all support safer operation across the equipment's lifecycle. Lifting efficiency improves through extended speed range technology, while inverter-controlled movements give smoother, more precise handling. Optimized rope and drum design, robust component engineering, and easy-to-reach inspection points all help PDW reduce wear and simplify servicing over time.
