- uses synthetic fibre rope

High-tech winch

PP Techniq has entered into a partnership with one of the world's leading producers of synthetic fibre lines.

• Together, we have developed and patented a winch based on synthetic fibre rope with the following focus:
  
  High speed - 20 m/min or more
  Large payload - 800 kg or more
  Large lifting/lowering height - 135 m or more
  Minimal mechanical dimensions - adapted to needs
  
  The winch has been developed for use as an internal crane in the wind turbine or as an external crane used for assembly/service.
• The synthetic fibre rope is superior to steel wires and chains in several areas:
  
  For example, a synthetic rope matches the same strength as a steel wire, only 25% smaller in diameter and 12 times less in weight.
  
  The synthetic fibre rope has especially good environmental characteristics, for example by being impervious to salt water, which makes it ideal for off-shore uses.
