What to Look for When Selecting A Construction Electric Winch

There are a few things you need to consider in order to choose a proper winch machine, including:

1. Where is the winch used, on land or port?
2. What is the specific use, horizontal pulling or vertical lifting?
3. What is your required load capacity or pulling force?
4. What is the required rope capacity?
5. What is the required speed, slow speed, high speed, single speed or two speed?
6. Do you require a rope guide for improved spooling?
7. Do you need an electric, hydraulic or diesel winch?

These are basic questions to consider when buying a winch for construction, which are very useful for indentifying the right winch equipment for your particular needs. In case of doubt, contact us online and discuss your construction winch specifications with one of our experts.

Why Choose Aicrane?

Structure of Construction Winch

The engineering winch is a simple lifting and pulling equipment that consists of electric motor, drum, rope or cable, transmission system, brake and control system. It is constructed with Q235B material, and the drum is made of Q345B steel coil.

Electric motor – Generally speaking, the winch in construction utilizes an electric type since it is extremely safe and reliable, and can be controlled remotely. Moreover, the electric construction winch has low operational cost. This winch is equipped with IP44 electric motor.

Winch rope – A variety of rope materials are suitable for use on construction winches, including wire rope, nylon, polypropylene, polyester and natural fibers. The rope capacity is determined by the length and diameter of the rope.

Drum – The winch drum is available with single drum and double drum to match varied uses, performance and operating conditions. The grooved drum is optional for better rope spooling on the drum.

Transmission system – There are different types of transmission system that can be fitted with your winch, such as reduction gear, spur gearbox and planetary gearbox. The selection of transmission is largely determined by the required efficiency and how much torque to be transmitted.

Brake – The winch construction comes standard with hydraulic block brake.

Winch control – The electric winch can be controlled in many different ways, mainly including push-button control box, pendant control and wireless remote control. The control used for the winch is determined by users’ preference, ease of use, and in addition price.

FAQs

What Are The Specifications of Electric Construction Winch?

What Is a Construction Winch Used For?

Construction winch is widely used for vertical lifting or horizontal pulling of heavy loads or materials in construction, water conservancy projects, forestry, mines, wharfs, etc., and can also be used as supporting equipment for modern electronic control automatic operation lines.

For example, Aicrane AQ-JM series electric construction winches are suitable for civil construction and installation projects, and AQ-JMM winches are commonly used for the installation and disassembly of various large and medium-sized concrete, steel structures and mechanical equipment.

According to your specific application, our professional engineers will recommend suitable winch equipment to you.

How Much Does A Construction Winch Cost?

The cost of a construction winch depends on many factors: load capacity, drum capacity, speed, additional features and functions, etc.

For example, a standard 10 ton winch may only cost a few thousand dollars, but if you require additional features and functions, such as rope spooling device, rope length and pulling force display, etc., the price may exceed 10,000 dollars.

Therefore, if you want to know the price of a construction winch, please contact our sales staff by email or phone and let them know your winch requirements. They will offer you a specific quote.

How Does A Construction Winch Work?

The motor drives the wire rope drum through the reducer, retracts and releases the wire rope, and changes the direction through different pulleys.

The process requirements are mainly the drum speed or the speed of the wire rope movement, and the safety and reliability of the braking system.

Is It Worth Getting A Winch?

Construction winch is a simple and efficient winch device that helps you lift and pull heavy loads safely and quickly.

Using a winch can save your labor cost, increase work efficiency and safely, so it is worth getting a winch.

Should Winch Pull From Top Or Bottom?

The wire rope should always pull from the bottom of the drum, which can reduce the height of the wire rope and save space. In addition, since the wire rope is close to the ground, it can reduce the chance of accidents.

 

What Happens If You Overload A Winch?

If exceeding its pulling force, the construction winch usually cannot pull. If it exceeds its pulling force, it should not break. It may break, but it shouldn’t. Pulling capacity depends on the power of the winch.

How Do You Install A Winch?

Do Winches Need Maintenance?

Yes. In construction projects, the winch machine for construction carries out a large number of material lifting tasks. Therefore, in order to ensure that the winch is always in good working condition, and to maximize work efficiency and safety, regular inspection and maintenance are essential.

How Often Should You Service A Winch?

According to the difference of use and maintenance time, the maintenance of the winch can be divided into every shift maintenance, primary maintenance and secondary maintenance.

How Do You Lubricate A Construction Winch?

Timely and adequate lubrication is a prerequisite for ensuring the safe operation of the winch and prolonging its service life. The following are precautions for winch lubrication:

• The quality of the lubricant must meet the requirements and must not be mixed with impurities such as dust, dirt and water.
• The sliding bearing at the bearing bracket end is lubricated with 30# oil.
• The remaining transmission parts are lubricated with gear oil or No. 24 cylinder oil into the drum body.
• When refueling, the dust and dirt in the oil hole must be carefully removed to prevent it from entering the inside of the component. After the oil is filled, the oil plug should be tightened.
• For new or overhauled winches, after 8-10 days of operation, the lubricating oil must be replaced in order to remove the fine metal particles worn off during the transmission of the parts.
• Under normal conditions, replace the oil every three months.
• The temperature of lubricating oil during operation shall not exceed 80℃
