Cable winch W-30

A power-house for the forestry and construction industries

Thanks to its lightweight construction from high-quality aluminium casting, the Wyssen cable winch can be used in many applications in the wood and forest industries as well as in the construction industry. It is primarily used as a drive unit for cable crane systems and as a hauling device for heavy skylines, as a drive unit for inclined lifts and as a circular drive wheel for a material cableway. When fitted with a grooved pulley or a capstan ring, it performs valuable work as a circular drive wheel for a material cableway. The sled runners, which are supplied depending on the winch type either in narrow or wide versions, give it good all-terrain mobility, and for this reason it is also very suitable as a mounting winch. The continuously adjustable roller fairlead at the front serves a steering mechanism in terrain and the mountain stabilisers at the rear prevent the cable winch sliding backwards.

The large drum diameters ensure a very long service life of the mainline. With just one control lever the speed, tractive force and direction of rotation of the cable drum can be adjusted to the particular conditions. Loads can thus be drawn, lifted, transported up the mountainside and lowered. Transport downhill is usually carried out with the air brake. This high performance brake, without any wear, permits a rapid descent with heavy loads. Wyssen cable winches are modular in construction, so that they can be adapted to the individual requirements of each customer. All spare parts are available from stock.
