Electric hoists

Electric lifting or handling winches are essential equipment for lifting and moving heavy loads in various industries, such as construction, logistics, automotive, industrial handling, etc.

These winches use an electric motor to drive a cable that enters inside the plate and which, through a system of pulleys, comes out on the same (or different) side, without the need for a drum to wind the cable, thus allowing unlimited lifting heights to be achieved.

It is due to this feature that Fixator winches are also called “passing cable winches”.

Types of Electric Winches

Electric cable winches

Typical applications: Construction, warehouses, workshops, vehicle lifting, site equipment.

Electric motor winches for vertical or horizontal lifting

Used in various applications where the load needs to be lifted (or moved horizontally), for example, to lift construction materials or move loads short distances.

Typical applications: Vertical lifting for transporting materials or equipment in buildings, on construction sites, or in warehouses.

Common Features of Electric Lifting Winches

• Electric Motor: A motor powers the winch, providing a stable and efficient power source for lifting applications. The motor can be single-phase or three-phase, depending on the application and available power source.
• Single phase: Ideal for domestic or workshop applications.
• Three-phase: Used for industrial applications with heavier loads.
• Lifting Capacity: Lifting capacity varies depending on the size and type of winch. Electric winches can lift loads ranging from a few hundred kilograms to several tons (up to 3000kg at Fixator with the use of a hoisting kit).

Control system:

• Remote Control: Many modern winches are equipped with a remote control for operation from a distance, improving operator safety.
• Manual Control: Some simpler models use buttons or levers to control the motor and lifting speed.

Security systems:

• Electromagnetic brakes: To prevent the load from dropping in the event of a power outage or motor failure.
• Load Limiters: Sensors or devices that stop the winch if the load exceeds the winch's maximum capacity.
  Durability and Resistance:
  Cables: Cable winches use steel cables for lifting, a component chosen for its flexibility and durability.

Lifting Speed:

Lifting speed is an important feature, and it can vary from model to model, depending on the needs of the application. Some winches, such as variable frequency drives, also known as VFDs, may have adjustable lifting speeds for slower, more controlled operations.

Filter your electric winch according to your needs; single-phase, three-phase, with integrated or remote control, etc.
