200kg & 500kg Manual Riggers Winches

Lightweight portable winch, mounted on an adaptor place. The adaptor plate can be fixed in a number of ways, dependant on the environment and industry; from ratchet straps, M10 bolts, karabiners, to scaffold clamps. This makes the winch a truly universal and adaptable lifting solution.

CE certified under EN13157 (Machinery Directive) with a maximum working load of 200kg (441lb) for Rigging Winch 200 and 500kg (1102lb) for Rigging Winch 500

The winch can be utilised in many applications:

• Utility masts.
• Telecoms.
• Marine.
• Wind turbine transition piece davits.
• Stage and theatre rigging.
• Confined space.
• Construction.
• Access and rescue.

Winch

Winches feature 17-4 PH stainless steel load-carrying gears and pins for strength and durability. Packages include a universal mounting plate, 10" winch handle, and either the single-speed Rigging Winch 200 or the two-speed Rigging Winch 500.

Design

The mounting plate is sculpted to remove excess weight and provides multiple attachment points without compromising strength. The pigtail lead ensures correct alignment and loading of the winch for maximum efficiency.

Fiber rope

The winch is designed for use with fiber rope up to 12mm (1/2") in diameter, reducing weight and allowing alignment to the load. Smooth surfaces and chafe-free design reduces rope wear. The unique drum design maximizes grip on the rope.

Maximum Grip

The drum’s gripping surface is designed specifically to work with the drum diameter and material to maximize gripping power and reduce rope wear. Diagonal ribs stop the rope from rising (keeping rope wraps on part of drum where you have the best control), prevent overrides, and provide a smooth controlled release as rope exits the winch.

Spring-loaded, self-tailing jaws adjust under rope pressure to accept a variety of rope diameters. Teeth grip evenly with or without load.

Lightweight

Overall weight only 4kg (Rigging winch 200) &7kg (Rigging winch 500)

Powerful

2-speed gearing allows optimum use of manpower to deliver power and speed.

Reliable & Easy to Maintain

Composite roller bearings and bushings don’t require lubrication and have excellent corrosion resistance.  This ‘metal-replacement’ material is completely non-reactive to saltwater and most chemicals, and has very good wear and abrasion resistance under maximum operating loads.

Load-carrying gears and pins are 17-4PH stainless steel for strength and durability.

Planetary gears are bronze to avoid stainless-on-stainless galling.

Winches can be disassembled and serviced where mounted.

Easy Line Control

Locking jaws hold loaded rope securely during operation and while suspended. The stripper arm is shaped to smoothly feed the rope in and out of the jaws so the operator can use both hands to turn the winch. The stripper arm adjusts to multiple positions after the winch is mounted so rope exit position can be optimized.

What is the maximum rope operating length?

There is no maximum rope length for use with the Rigging Winches. The end of the rope does not need to be installed onto the drum.

Is the Rigging Winch suitable for human suspension?

In accordance with Directive 2009/104/EC persons may be lifted only by means of work equipment and accessories provided for that purpose. Without prejudice to Article 5 of Directive 89/391/EC, exceptionally, work equipment which is not specifically designed for the purpose of lifting persons may be used for that purpose, provided appropriate action has been taken to ensure safety in accordance with national legislation and/or practice providing for appropriate supervision.

Is the kit supplied with the attachment fittings?

Because attachments and fittings are used differently depending on operational purpose, they are not included with the kit. This allows for more of a customized application of the kit
