Winches are the essential cable pulling machines in the power line constructions and the heavy lifting projects. Among the common types, the single drum winches and the double drum winches are widely used. As a Chinese manufacturer in electric power equipment, our MARSHINE as have these two types of winches.While both serve the purpose of pulling or lifting loads, the double drum winch can offers the operators with better performance that make it more good for the complex and large-scale projects.
What Is a Single Drum Winch
The single drum winch is the winch that only equipped with one rope drum, which allows it to pull or lift the loads in a straightforward manner. It is widely used in applications where only requires for one pulling direction or the cable operation. Single drum winches are simple, compact, and more cost-effective for the teams with lighter construction tasks, but these winches may not be efficient enough in the projects that requires for the continuous or the multi-directional pulling operations. Just like our MARSHINE Compact Gasoline Powered 3Ton Cable Winch.
What Is a Double Drum Winch
A double drum winch has two rope drums that can operate either independently or together, this depends on the design of the winch. It can manage the two separate ropes for the different pulling tasks or for the continuous operation in the alternating cycles. Double drum winches are often used in the long-distance cable pulling tasks, heavy lifting operations, and the complex field projects where the efficiency and the reliability are critical. It can be a reliable partner for the teams that requires for a more efficient yet durable heavy-duty machine. Our MARSHINE 5Ton Double Capstan Gasoline Cable Winch is just that.
Advantages of the Double Drum Winch over the Single Drum Winch
The double drum winches allows for one drum to operate while the another one prepares for the next pull, which can effectively improve the working efficiency. And with its two drums, the operators can pull two cables simultaneously or perform the synchronized operations, and this action is not possible with a single drum winch. Due to the double drum systems, the double drum winch can distribute the load more evenly by balancing the workload across the two drums, the wear and tear on each drum and rope is reduced, so that to improve the machine's service life, reduce the risk of the overload, or the imbalance during the operations. It is able to handle both the pulling and tensioning tasks at the same time while the single drum winch can only deal one type of the task at a time. And since the double drum winch can manage the more tasks in one setup, it minimizes the need for repositioning or the additional equipment, is able to lower the labor costs and the labor efforts.
