Winches must meet strict requirements

Winches are subject to high demands. This means that a special design is often required. Consider, for instance, the dynamic forces that are involved in innovative approaches, such as a movable winch with shock absorbers, tension and heat development problems in steel cables and plastic ropes that the winch has to cope with. Or very compact winches, which have been developed for locations with a limited working space. And what about working at great depths, circumstances under which cable wind-up and possible swell compensation are of great importance? Innovative Input has extensive experience with all of these aspects. We can offer you the best possible solution.

Winches

At Innovative Input we offer you a very broad range of winches for a variety of applications:

  • Anchor winches
  • Capstans
  • Traction winches
  • Hose winches
  • Umbilical winches
  • Lifting winches
  • Motorised winches
  • Mooring winches
  • Towing winches
  • Winches for anchors
  • Winches for floating derricks
  • Lead wire winches

Lifting gear with attractive characteristics

Innovative Input offers various lightweight lifting- and equalizer-beams especially developed for heavy lifting jobs. These products have some very interesting qualities. For instance, they have a very favourable strength/weight ratio and are extremely versatile in their application. An increasing number of companies choose to work with our lifting beams and equalizers. That is why they are part of our standard delivery program today.

Range of lifting gear

In order to give you the best service, we offer you the following lifting gear:

Special and auxiliary constructions in mechanical engineering

Innovative Input always finds a suitable solution to your mechanical engineering questions. We developed and produced a large number of special constructions and accessories during the past years.

  • PLET form, for hoising/lowering end terminals of pipelines for maintenance purposes.
  • Construction of Upper side Step Arm
  • 500t pipe tensioner
  • Single-hinge type cutter platform. This platform was designed to replace the existing structure. The advantage of this construction is an expansion of the working area by 45 % and an improvement of accessibility.
  • Cutter platform with long drum winch. This platform is accessible and movable at different heights. It remains in a horizontal position at all heights.
  • Horse frame gantry.
