Winches – Versatile tools for lifting, lowering, and tensioning

Winches are indispensable tools. They are primarily used for lifting and lowering loads at low speeds as well as for tensioning ropes. Depending on the application, they are used in different designs, including stationary and mobile winches. In most cases, winches are designed as drum machines capable of holding the rope in multiple layers. A spooling device is used for orderly winding and unwinding. Drums without rope grooves are also possible.

Applications of winches

  1. Stage winches
    These winches are used for moving stages and supporting structures of grab systems. Several stage winches can also operate together in synchronized mode to move a stage.
  2. Tension winches
    Tension winches are used for tensioning guide and friction ropes.
  3. Shaft winches
    Shaft winches are used to safely attach and detach materials, equipment, or plummets in shafts.
  4. Winches for rope installation
    This includes, for example, friction winches as well as drum winches used for installing and removing ropes. They are capable of applying a retaining force so that the rope can be installed under pretension.

OLKO winches are characterized by the following features:

  • Stable construction for reliable operation under load,
  • Disc or drum brakes
  • Brake actuation hydraulically, pneumatically, or with electrohydraulic lifting devices
  • Precise control for controlled lifting and lowering,
  • Robustness against environmental influences when used underground or outdoors.

Compressed air winches

Compressed air winches from Olko are powerful lifting devices specifically developed for use in mining and other industrial applications. These winches use compressed air as the driving force, making them particularly efficient and reliable, even under extreme conditions.

A key feature of compressed air winches is their robustness and versatility. They are capable of lifting and lowering heavy loads with precision, making them ideal for transporting materials and personnel in shafts. The use of compressed air allows safe operation, as these winches can also be used in explosion-prone areas.

The design of Olko compressed air winches is tailored to meet the highest safety and performance standards. They are equipped with modern control systems that enable precise control and monitoring of the lifting process. This contributes not only to efficiency but also to workplace safety.

Another advantage of compressed air winches is their ease of maintenance. The robust components and high-quality workmanship ensure long service life and minimal downtime. This makes them a cost-effective solution for long-term use in demanding environments.

Olko offers a wide range of compressed air winches designed for various applications and load capacities. Whether for use in mining, rescue operations, or industrial processes – Olko compressed air winches always provide the right solution.

With Olko compressed air winches, companies choose quality, reliability, and maximum safety. These winches are the result of many years of experience and continuous development to meet the demands of modern industrial and mining operations.
