Its design prioritizes operator safety and long-term equipment integrity.

Key Features

• High-Capacity Performance: Rated for a safe working load (SWL) of 12 tons (24,000 lbs), providing ample power for the most demanding lifts and pulls.
• Robust Electric Motor: Equipped with a high-torque, 3-phase or single-phase motor (options available) featuring thermal overload protection to prevent burnout during extended use.
• Planetary Gear System: A multi-stage planetary gearbox ensures efficient power transfer, smooth operation, and compact design with high reduction ratios.
• Automatic Safety Brake: A mechanically activated disc brake automatically engages to hold the load securely when power is cut, a critical safety feature.
• Durable Construction: The drum, gear housing, and frame are constructed from high-grade steel, offering exceptional resistance to impact and deformation.
• Versatile Control: Compatible with pendant push-button controls, remote radio controls, or integration into broader automation systems for flexible operation.
• Weather & Corrosion Resistance: Key components are treated with anti-corrosion coatings, making the winch suitable for use in harsh indoor and outdoor environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What power supply is required for this 12 ton electric winch?

A: The standard model is configured for a 3-phase, 440V, 60Hz power supply, which is common in industrial settings. We offer models for other voltages and phases (e.g., 380V/50Hz, 575V) upon request. Please specify your local power requirements when inquiring.

Q2: Is the wire rope included with the winch?

A: Typically, the winch is supplied with a certified high-grade steel wire rope fitted to the drum capacity specified in our technical sheet. The rope grade, length, and diameter are matched to the winch's capacity and duty cycle. Confirm this detail with your sales representative.

Q3: Can the lifting speed be adjusted?

A: Yes, variable speed control can be achieved by using an optional variable frequency drive (VFD). A VFD allows for smooth acceleration/deceleration and precise speed adjustment, which is ideal for sensitive loads or precise positioning tasks.

Q4: What maintenance does this electric winch require?

A: Maintenance is relatively straightforward. It primarily involves regular inspection of the wire rope, periodic lubrication of the gearbox with the specified grease, checking electrical connections, and ensuring the brake mechanism is functioning correctly. Detailed maintenance schedules are provided in the user manual.

Q5: Do you offer customization options?

A: Absolutely. As an experienced OEM/ODM partner, we frequently customize winches. Common modifications include specific mounting configurations, special paint colors or coatings (e.g., marine-grade), different control systems (radio remote, cabin controls), altered drum dimensions, or integration of overload limit switches. Contact us with your project needs.

Q6: What is the lead time for an order?

A: Lead time depends on the order quantity and any customization requirements. For standard model orders, typical lead time is 20-30 days after order confirmation. We will always provide a clear production and shipping schedule upon receipt of your inquiry.
