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 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.

Safer operation is supported by built-in monitoring and protection features, including hoist condition monitoring plus overspeed and overload protection.
Controlled movements and reduced operational risk come from upper, lower, slow-down and stop limits across hoist, trolley and bridge travel.
A compact, application-focused design comes from the modular machinery concept, with rail gauge optimized to match the required lifting height.
Structural stress is reduced and component lifetime extended through the floating hoisting machinery suspension and optimized gearbox-rope drum connection.
Cycle times improve through Extended Speed Range (ESR) technology, which supports faster lifting when unloaded and controlled high-torque movement under load.
Smoother, more precise travel movements come from variable trolley speed control, supporting efficient handling across heavy-duty crane applications.

PDW extends the Verlinde open winch family as a process duty open winch built to meet higher duty group requirements from M6 upward. A wide capacity range (6300 to 80000kg), modular open winch design, built-in safety features, and standard extended speed range (ESR) technology together support safe load handling, efficient cycle times, and lasting performance under intensive lifting operations.
With Eurobloc VT9-10-11-12, the Eurobloc VT range gains large yet compact electric open winches offering greater lifting capacity (10 to 250 tonnes), along with smooth handling, high uptime and strong protection for both people and equipment.
Eurobloc VT is a wire rope hoist built for high performance and productivity. Among its standout features are a compact design, superior lifting guidance via near-vertical lifting, improved positioning accuracy through variable travel speed control, and advanced monitoring functions (MT4) that track operating life and load cycles.
