Winch design and build
Sometimes, standard winches don’t provide the right solution – when this is the case, Rotrex Winches will engineer a winch specifically for the required need.
Our intensive design-and-build service provides winches and winch systems specifically for your application, so no compromise is needed when off-the-shelf solutions don’t quite work.
Engineered for your application
Key to creating the right solution is developing a proper understanding of the customer’s needs. So, our sales and project management teams carry out site visits to assess your technical and commercial requirements.
We work closely with customers to understand all of the criteria needing to be addressed, including:
- Operational location and environment – for example, internal, external or underground
- Type and weight of the load to be moved – for example, goods, materials or personnel
- Appropriate primary power supply – for example, manual, pneumatic, electric, petrol or diesel
- Movement required for the load – for example, friction or incline loadings, length of pull/lift, braking requirements, constant tension and load-monitoring
- Safety factors for different applications and loads
- Operational line speeds – high, low, fixed or variable
- Frequency of use – a duty cycle that’s daily, weekly or continuous
- Power failure backup and emergency control functions
Using this information, we are able to propose either a standard product, or develop a bespoke winch to meet both your needs and your budget.
Rotrex Winches will provide project management to plan, coordinate and progress and deliver the winch or winch system required, within budget and on time.
