W- 40 cable winches The modern power-houses for the foresty ans construction industries

The electronically-controlled high-performance

Wyssen W-40 cable winches excel with their

high performance and low weight. They are

optimally suited for transporting heavy loads uphill

or downhill at high speeds and performances

on long-distance cableways. The W-40/102HP

cable winch stands out particularly with its low

weight of only 1690 kg.

Both cable winches can be quickly and easily

separated into two parts (chassis and engine), so

that the cable winches can also be transported with smaller helicopters.

The chassis is identical to the conventional W-40 cable winch on both

types. The W-40/102 HP cable winch is driven by the powerful VW

turbo diesel engine and the W-40/175 HP cable winch by an even

more powerful Deutz 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine with the continuously

adjustable Rexroth hydraulic system. In comparison with the conventional

W-40 cable winch, they have a significantly higher travelling speed with

heavy loads. The cable winches have a high cable capacity and are

predominantly used as a drive unit in the wood and forest industries as

well as in the construction industry and like all Wyssen cable winches

they can also be used as a continuous drive for material cableways. The

W-40 cable winch also has a modular construction and can be adapted

according to the requirements of the customer. The electronicallycontrolled

cable winches are fitted with the in-house developed control

system and equipped with a colour display. Supports and end-points

can be entered easily, so that the carriage automatically slows down

when crossing the supports and stops at the end-points. For special

applications, the cable winches can optionally be fitted with remote

control.
