PDW

Process duty open winch for loads from 6300 to 80 000 kg

Overview

Built for process duty performance.

PDW is a process duty open winch designed for high-capacity lifting up to 80 tonnes. Created for applications where lifting performance, control, and long-term reliability are essential, it combines true vertical lift, extended speed range (ESR) technology, and variable trolley speed control to support both safe load handling and efficient cycle times. With its modular open winch design and built-in safety features, PDW delivers a robust lifting solution for process cranes and heavy industrial operations.

Innovation

Engineered Innovation for process duty lifting.

PDW brings advanced open winch engineering to process duty lifting, combining a modular machinery concept with technical optimizations designed for high-capacity, high-frequency operation. Its floating hoisting machinery suspension helps eliminate bending forces caused by the load, while the optimized gearbox and rope drum connection reduce misalignment and support long component lifetime. PDW allows fast movement without load and controlled, high-torque travel under load, helping improve productivity, safety, and reliability in process crane applications.

PDW

Verlinde open winch family is extended with PDW, a process duty open winch designed to meet higher duty group requirements from M6. Its wide capacity range (6300 to 80000kg), modular open winch design, built-in safety features, and standard extended speed range (ESR) technology support safe load handling, efficient cycle times, and lasting performance in intensive lifting operations.

Load capacity: From 6300 to 80000kg
Standard lifting range: From 6.4 to 25.2m
Lifting type: Variable speed
Performance and main features: Lifting speed from 10 m/min to 20 m/min
Versions: fixed, double girder, machinery.
Trolley: motorized
Main benefits: PDW is a heavy-duty solution which combines safety, productivity, and long-term reliability in one process duty open winch solution. Its high-torque hoisting brake, overload and overspeed protection, and safe working period monitoring help support safer operation throughout the equipment lifecycle. Extended speed range technology improves lifting efficiency, while inverter-controlled movements provide smoother, more precise handling. With optimized rope and drum design, robust component engineering, and easy access to inspection points, PDW helps reduce wear and simplify service operations over time.
