Electric Winch range, which is a portfolio of electric winches that can be custom-built to suit a wide variety of applications and environments.
The winches are constructed from heavy-duty materials and are available in 500kg to 3 tonne capacities, with lifting heights varying from 5m to 14m.
According to the manufacturer, the grooved drum design prevents the wire rope from building up unevenly when spooled, a quality important for multi layered wrapping.
The CEP range comes as standard with IP65 pendant control and 24V push button control. In the event of power loss, an electromagnetic spring-applied fail-safe brake, designed for both static and dynamic loading, is applied automatically, the company said.
