WINCHES

Mobile cranes, ideal for indoor use. The mobile jib crane can lift loads ranging from 150 kg to 500 kg with a radius of action of around two metres. The mobile jib crane can be moved by means of all-terrain wheels, which allow it to move on any type of ground. The most commonly used model is the mobile jib crane with a triangular boom with a hollow profile that adapts to workshop conditions.

Drum cranes are the most common cranes, especially in the industrial sector. This type of crane is designed to move very heavy loads of up to several tonnes. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. The jib crane is fixed with chemical anchors or with anchor rods and concrete blocks. The jib cranes are available with a triangular or inverted jib with a rotation range of 270° to 360° and a reach of up to 9 metres.

The wall-mounted jib cranes are equipped with a triangular or inverted jib, which reduces the headroom. The wall-mounted jib crane has the option of being motorised or manual with a 180° rotation. The wall-mounted jib cranes are suitable for individual use and avoid clutter in the work area. The lifting capacity of this type of jib crane ranges from 150kg to 4 tonnes with a standard reach of up to 8000mm.

To choose the right jib crane for your lifting application, you need to:

Know the environment in which you want to install your jib crane. This will allow you to choose between a fixed jib crane, a mobile jib crane or a wall-mounted jib crane.

Know the load you wish to lift with the crane. The weight will allow you to choose the necessary lifting capacity.

Know the maximum height and reach required to lift the load.

Know the type of jib crane you want : you can choose between an electric jib crane or a manual jib crane.

A design office is at your disposal to meet your lifting needs for your cranes and gantries. The design office will draw up an estimate according to your request. For further information, please contact our customer service.

There are different types of lifting winches:

The simple winch operates by means of a crank handle, allowing the rope or cable to be wound up to reduce the physical effort of the user.

The differential winch operates in the same way as a hoist.

The mechanical winch has two distinct functions: Firstly, its operation is based on a simple or bevel gear system and secondly on a worm gear system.

Manual winches are the most classic and easiest to use. These winches have a rather small load lifting or pulling capacity (up to about 2 tonnes) and use only the strength of the user's arms. Manual winches are mainly used on construction sites and for lifting light loads.

Electric winches are connected to a battery (car or truck) or to the mains. These winches have a higher pulling capacity than manual winches.

To avoid overheating of the lifting winch, we advise you to choose a winch with a pulling capacity significantly higher than the initial weight of your load. The electric winch should only be used by professionals as it requires charging and cooling time before and during the lifting or pulling operation.

Electric winches have both mandatory and optional safety and cable winding options. In the lifting situation, a limit switch, a secondary safety brake and a load limiter are mandatory.

We offer quality, high-performance winches suitable for professional lifting operations. We work with leading lifting brands such as HUCHEZ, TRACTEL and GOLIATH to ensure that our products are adapted to your needs.
