Set up and function
The Wyssen W-30 cable winch is practically identical to the W-40. The difference is that the W-40 has higher side-walls, which allows a larger cable drum to be fitted with a higher cable holding capacity. The cable winch is mainly used like the W-40 as a driving unit in the wood and forest industries as well as in the construction industry. It is ideally suitable for long-distance cableways together with our carriage HY-4 or slackpuller carriage and our MSK2 motorised skyline crane up to load capacities of 40 kN/4 t. With the grooved sheave equipped, the W-30 cable winch can also be used as a endless-rope drive for material cableways.
The latest engine is the Hatz turbodiesel with 55kW/74PS. It fulfills the exhaust emission stage V required in the CH/EU area. It is equipped with a diesel particulate filter, which prevents clogging with an automatic regeneration function. The engine installed in our vehicle has an output of 55 kW, which is the limit before an additional complex exhaust gas aftertreatment system (AdBlue) comes mandatory. The entire drive train is electronically controlled, enabling semi-automatic operation thanks to our specially developed control system with display. Supports and end-points can be entered, so that the cable crane automatically slows down when passing the supports and stops at the end-points. The cable winch, which weighs approx. 1’572 kg (depending on equipment/options), can be quickly and easily separated into two parts (chassis and motor assembly), which means that the cable winch can also be transported with smaller helicopters. The W-30 is also available with an electric drive and our modern control system. On request, the cable winch can also be controlled by radio, depending on the application. If more power is required, the cable winch is also available with more powerful engines, depending on exhaust emission regulations, enabling heavy loads to be transported uphill at high speed. The W-30 cable winch is modular in construction, as are all Wyssen cable winches, so that it can be adapted to the individual requirements of each customer.
