Custom Winch Products
High-performance custom winches meet demanding application requirements.
Unlimited Capability
Each 203 Series Custom Winch is specifically designed for its intended application.
- Single line capacities from 1/2 to over 100 tons.
- Cable drums sized to meet the rope storage requirements, fleet angle restrictions and space limitations of each application.
- Modular sealed gear sets, sized for intended service factor, develop almost any required line speed from less than 1 FPM to over 150 FPM.
- Motor, band, fan, disc and Weston-style brakes as well as vector drives are just some of the available load holding options.
- Free-spooling drum clutches, powered levelwinds, special drum grooving patterns and fairleads are easily integrated with 203 series winches to maximize rope handling and spooling efficiency.
Built to Specifications
203 Series winches are either built to OEM, government, military and industrial specifications or David Round's own standards. They are ideal for wind power winch or nuclear power winch applications.
- Upon request, winch designs may be certified by a registered professional engineer.
- In-the-field reverse engineering is available to design drop-in replacement winches.
- All winches are load tested and certified prior to shipment.
1. Pendant Various button configurations available for pendants and remote controls.
2. Controls Single and two-speed control packages available with a standard reversing starter or choose variable speed winch opration with an AC inverter or vector drive. Weather resistant, marine grade and explosion-proof enclosures available.
3. Gearing 100% Sealed gearing with oil bath lubrication unless otherwise specified. Right angle, in-line and planetary gear sets accommodate all reduction and space limitation requirements.
4. Wire Rope Available upon request, wire rope is sized for winch capacity and application.
5. Motor Brake Provided unless otherwise specified to hold suspended or unstable loads.
6. Cable Drum Sized to meet loading, cable, fleet angle and space restriction requirements.
7. Motor Electric motor properly sized for starting and running loads and configured for environmental conditions.
8. Bearings Precision self-aligning pillow block or flange cartridge bearings with grease fittings.
9. Mountings Space-saving frame layouts may be sized to match existing mounting requirements.
10. Fittings Swivel hooks, blocks, clevis fittings and other rope attachments are available.
11. Spooling Aids Pressure rollers, fairleads, level winds and sheaves available for cable control.
Finish Winches painted safety yellow unless otherwise specified. Epoxy paint is available.
Safety Devices Hook travel limit switches, drum guards, overload detection / auto-shutdown systems, audible/visible alarms and other safeguards are available.
Continuous Tension Winch
Incorporating an oil shear clutch, this hydraulic winch provides continuous line pulling tension for construction and web handling equipment to automatically advance pipe bursting heads and roller cartridges when back tension diminishes.
- Liquid-cooled wet disc hydraulic clutch
- Sealed planetary gearing
- Hydraulic motor with directional controls
Base-Mounted Lifting Winch
Frequently used in processing applications for conveyor positioning and for hatch, grate and pump lifting, this base-mounted lifting winch is available as a stand-alone unit or as part of an integrated system with sheaves and jib cranes.
- Motor brake holds load in position
- Rotary limit switch restricts hook travel
- Grooved drum for consistent cable take-up
Cart-Pulling Winch
Used under power to pull trailers and mobile homes through production, this winch is also available in push-pull and traction style designs.
- Free-spooling drum for quick manual payout
- Variable speed air lever controls
- Sealed gearing provides years of reliable service
Line Tensioning Winch
Unlike other winches with load holding brakes, this winch releases cable at a preset line tension, making it ideal for cable stringing applications.
- Adjustable band brake
- Manual operation
- Often integrated with other cabling equipment
Furnace Door Lifting Winch
Available in single or dual line configurations, this furnace lifting door winch features high starting torque to pull doors free from seals.
- High-torque electric motor
