3D CMMs provide complete freedom of movement

The company, which is already present internationally in the field of rescue and ski lifts, is now seeking European distributors in the industrial and offshore sectors.
The winch is extremely versatile and has many uses, ranging from altitude lifting to the uncoiling of very long cables.
It is also extremely compact, which is an innovation in the field of hoisting, and its features include automatic cable storage on several removable magazines.
The cable is driven by means of a self-blocking adherence system.
It is held in place on the winch and placed in position without overlapping of the ends.
Various diameters of cable are possible and the winch may also be used with a fibre rope.
The winch has been developed in a power range going from 500kg to 1,500kg.
It uses a hydraulic power source (be it a thermal or electric unit) and may be controlled by radio (with a Paillardet hydraulic unit) or by any other hydraulic unit with an output of 20 litres/min and 150 bar of pressure.
The winch works in all positions thanks to a universal frame that can be attached to all types of supports with straps and tensioners.
The winch is always automatically aligned in the hoisting axis and remains in position, even when idle, thus preventing jolts once the load has been deposited.
