Personnel lifting winches are mainly built to client specifi cations and can be executed with a self-braking worm-, helical- or planetary gear depending on the load required. The drive can be either electric, hydraulic or pneumatic. EMCE has supplied manriding systems up to a working load limit of 10,000 kg.

EMCE have supplied winches for the following applications:

• safety harness or a boatswain's chairs
• diving frame applications
• baskets or platforms
• cable way rescue winches

As safety is most important with personnel lifting applications a third party design review is often required. The type of design review is however very much depending on the local rules and regulations. For onshore personnel lifting applications within the European Union often a EC type examination is required. Offshore personnel lifting winches often require the same class as the ship or rig they are being used on. Most common classifi cations for offshore personnel lifting winches are LRS, ABS, DNV and GL.

A range of compact lifting and pulling winches utilising electric or hydraulic motors. The heavy duty planetary gearbox is located within the drum core, which both saves space and protects the gearbox from any external mechanical threats. Capacities can go up to 30 tons of lifting capacity with this range. Depending on your power source and application, we can select and offer the correct model for you.
