The upgraded winches now feature pulling power up to 3,500kg, compared to 3,000kg previously, and a 6kW rated motor for faster rope payout and recovery times. They are also Ex rated for operation in hazardous areas, which JD Neuhaus says makes them usable in oil and gas production plants, chemical plants and other industrial applications.
An integrated planetary gearbox utilises exhaust air cooling for 100% duty cycles with minimum maintenance and maximum reliability. A winch mounted control lever is provided as standard for precise operation and variable speed control. Optional twin button or lever pendant controllers can also be supplied for remote operation.
Emergency stop and overload protection are incorporated as standard, with other optional features including pressure roller, rope drum grooving, slack rope detector, welded pulling frame and drum guard. A split drum arrangement can also be provided to facilitate pulling/spooling-off operations to take place on adjacent sides of the drum at the same time.
