An open winch is a configurable hoisting system used when standard packaged hoists do not meet the capacity, duty, speed, reeving, dimensional or maintenance requirements of a project. Its motor, gearbox, drum, rope system, brake and control arrangement can be selected around the required crane duty and process.
ACG open winch systems are engineered for heavy-duty crane applications requiring project-specific capacity, duty, speed, reeving and maintainable component layouts.
Final dimensions, component selection and operating parameters are defined from project data, duty requirements, site conditions and the agreed engineering scope.
| Capacity | Selected from project load requirements |
|---|---|
| Duty class | Selected from cycles and load spectrum |
| Lift height | Defines rope storage and drum arrangement |
| Hoisting speed | Selected for process and control requirements |
| Reeving | Selected for load, hook block and rope forces |
| Control | Configured for crane electrical and safety systems |
Share the required capacity, dimensions, lifting height, duty, operating environment and available project documents. The ACG engineering and sales team will review the required configuration.
