Winches

Sala P-W60L/P-W120L

The man rated Sala P-W60L lightweight full man riding winch, offers an 18 metre wire rope with the P-W120L offering a 37 metre wire rope. It is manually operated by simply rotating the handle to raise or lower personnel or materials, there is a galvanised or stainless steel wire cable option on either model.

Both units have a brake lowering facility and incorporate a safety overload, so that the wearer can not be injured upon recovery. These winches have the Sala quick fit mount fitted as standard.  

Both units have a 6:1 gear ratio with an average lifting speed of 3.8 metres per minute, the safety hook also offers an impact indicator to show if the unit has taken an impacted load, hence requiring a full service. There is a free wheel facility allowing the operative to descend step irons or ladder rungs at a speed that they are comfortable with. If the operative should slip or fall there is an over speed braked clutch for safety.  

Didsbury LLRTZ

The LLRTZ is a full man riding winch with the added use of being able to lift goods to the weight of 254kgs. The LLRTZ offers a 9 metre cable length and with its patented retrieval drum allows the rope to be recovered or lowered with virtually no load attached to the safety hook.

The unit also features a governed descent mechanism which does not allow the operative or load to accelerate too quickly in any circumstances 

Rollgliss R350

The Rollgliss R350 is the base model which is available in 3 further formats, offering a 2:1, 3:1 and 5:1 reduction system dependant upon your requirements.  

The R350 man riding winch can be used for either working or rescue, this unit comes into its own for chimneys, towers masts. The operative can self ascend or lower to his given task, the R350 also allows for a top man to have control, allowing him to recover the operative if the need so arises.

The R350 in its 5:1 ratio can also be used to recover 2 operatives at once, making it a very practical recovery system. The fall required is worked out on which unit is ordered by the ratio, a 2:1 for instance with a 50 metre rope fitted would give a fall of 25 metres, where as the 5:1 would have a fall of 10 metres. We have listed a number of options but these units really need to be built to operational or risk assessment needs
