Cable Winch W-10

The Wyssen cable winch has been tried and tested for over 90 years and is characterised by its mobility, excellent quality, high performance, safety and long operating life. Thanks to its lightweight design, the W-10 cable winch can be used in many applications in the wood and forest industries as well as in the construction industry. It is principally used as a drive engine for small cableways, but also as a hoisting device for skylines and as a drive unit for inclined lifts. The W-10 cable winch does valuable work with a grooved pulley or capstan ring fitted, either as a circular drive wheel for a material cableway or as a cable crane. The sled runners give it all-terrain mobility, so that it is also ideally suited as a mounting winch. The 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 diameter ensures 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 (optionally available). This high performance brake, without any wear, permits a rapid descent with heavy loads. The W-10 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. The Wyssen cable spool drive or other hydraulic devices can also be connected to the W-10 cable winch.
