What is a cable winch
A cable winch is a mechanical device used to pull, lift or position heavy cables and loads during the installation, construction or maintenance of power lines. Its working principle is to wind a steel wire rope or synthetic fiber cable on a drum, which is driven by hand or engine (diesel, gasoline or electric motor). Cable winches are essential tools in overhead and underground power line projects, capable of efficiently tensioning and laying cables over long distances.
The MARSHINE cable winches are available in different capacities and configurations depending on the purpose, such as capstan winches, drum winches and hydraulic winches. They are widely used in the power industry, telecommunications, mining and infrastructure projects.
How to Use
Using our MARSHINE cable winch requires several key steps to ensure safety and performance:
Preparation: Inspect the winch, cable, and all connections. Make sure the winch is securely fastened to a solid surface.
Cable Setup: Thread the towing rope or cable through the winch drum or capstan and connect it to the load or cable to be towed.
Start: Activate the power source (hand crank, motor, or engine) to begin the winding process.
Tension Control: Monitor and control tension using a clutch or brake system to prevent sudden movement or overloading.
Finish: When towing is complete, stop the winch, disconnect the cable, and inspect the equipment for any damage.
Always follow the winch operator's manual and wear appropriate safety gear.
Maintenance Guidelines
Regular maintenance is key to extending the life and reliability of your MARSHINE cable winch:
Inspect the cable: Check the rope or cable for wear, corrosion or damage before and after use.
Lubricate: Regularly grease the drum, gears and bearings to ensure smooth operation.
Inspect fasteners: Tighten any bolts, clamps or couplings to prevent them from loosening during operation.
Clean parts: Keep the winch away from dust, dirt or construction debris to prevent wear.
Engine care (if applicable): Change the oil, clean the filter and check the fuel system according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
Storage: When not in use, store in a dry, covered place to avoid rust and weathering.
