Overhead Cranes

The “spacemaker” cranes with EW Open Winch from Eurocrane provides a lifting solution for any industry and every crane service classification. Thanks to Eurocrane\'s technology, serial production and strict quality control procedures, the EW Open Winch is highly reliable and easy to maintain, especially as the principle of \"fewer parts means fewer faults\" is carefully followed throughout its design and production.
The EW Open Winches are suited for both general and process use, the load range of winches is up to 600 tons if used in tandem. The technology behind the EW Open Winches closely parallel developments in industrial materials handling processes, namely that crane speeds are increasing while operator ergonomics are improving. The reliability of a crane fitted with an EW Open Winch is further enhanced by simplified maintenance procedures and good accessibility of each key component.

Product Features:

Flange-mounted machinery for a compact hoisting unit
To minimize space requirements and reduce supporting structures, flange-mounted motors and live axle enclosed transmissions are used throughout. Fewer parts and a smaller structure reduces trolley weight. Furthermore, maintenance is reduced and the need for a large supply of spares is avoided.
In the production of EW winches the design principle of “fewer parts – fewer faults” is carefully followed.

Stepless speeds enhance safety
The latest vectorial speed control technology ensure close coordination between the drives and the operator. Built-in safety features minimize both the risk of accidents and the possibility of winch abuse.

Range of automation options
The EW open winch allows many other operating capabilities to be fully integrated into the process: optional hook leveling, synchronization, electronic anti-swing, or full automation under a material inventory or production control system.

Smaller runway reduces construction costs
The small space requirement and the lightweight, durable construction of EW Winch lead to optimization of the work area to the users benefit. Trolleys constructed with a four-wheel or six-wheel bogie system and true vertical lifting ensure load is evenly distributed along the crane girders.
Compared to any other type of hoisting trolley, the EW Winch enables a reduction in the structural requirements of rails, runway beams and columns, and in the overall height of the building. Consequently, the EW Winch begins its own payback by reducing building construction costs. 

Auxiliary hoist
An auxiliary hoist can be provided by adding a special tow trolley. The tow trolley is connected the main unit by pinned connections. This arrangement ensures optimal hook approaches.
