Open barrel winches are essential devices for lifting and moving heavy loads in industrial settings. Designed and manufactured in-house for over 40 years, OMIS open barrel winches are available in a wide range of capacities and configurations, ensuring high-quality construction, optimal performance and long service life.
Open barrel winches, commonly installed on bridge cranes, are supplied pre-assembled on the trolley, complete with motor, brake and wheels, ready for quick installation. The lifting and travel movements of the trolley are managed by inverters to ensure maximum precision and control. The standard hook strokes are 10 and 20 m, but greater lengths are possible on request.
Two main versions are available, single-reeved, with a single rope winding (2/4/6 strands) and double-reeved, with double rope winding (4/8/12/16 strands), ideal for more precise load positioning. The drum can be positioned parallel to the crane girders (standard configuration) or at right angles to reduce the lateral footprint of the trolley. The load limiting device is connected to an electronic board that allows the management of two load thresholds, in accordance with European safety regulations.
There are many possible configurations: the winch can be installed above the girders for maximum hook stroke, between the girders to optimise the available height, or equipped with sliding end-carriages if the width of the trolley exceeds 2.5 m.
