olumbus McKinnon Engineered Products has supplied three additional BETA wire rope winches to


loads of up to 12 tons at travel speeds of up to m/min. The motor runs smoothly due to the low-maintenance spur gear and the trolleys can be lowered into the water without power (emergency operation) using a drum release and a band brake. The pre-tension of each winch can be adjusted individually using a hand wheel.


The existing winch system has been upgraded to enable the safe and reliable movement of longer vessels of up to 36m and a total weight of approximately 300 tons on the slipway ramp. The Pfaff-silberblau electric wire


rope winches have been approved in accordance with the DGUV V54 (BGV D8) accident prevention regulations.
