Winch with bottom flange crab

Electric winches WE 1 to WE 10 are available with a bottom flange crab suitable for fitting to various shapes of steel section. The particular type or shape of section should be stated when placing orders, enabling the trolley to be adjusted accordingly.

Steel sections (beams) upon request

Crabs for wide flange sections can also be supplied upon request.

Two different versions of crab are available:


a) for 2-strand operation with load hook pulley

b) for single-strand operation on offset arrangement of winch and counterweight.


The crab is powered, as standard, by a gear brake motor mounted on the side. The standard speed should be taken from the table. On the WE 1 and WE 5 winches it is also possible to operate the crab by pulling the load. The gear brake motor is no longer required in this case.

A dragline is not part of our scope of supply.
