Winch technology for lifting and pulling tasks

Peter Riedel GmbH provides independent advice on winch technology and accompanies the selection, procurement, assembly, and commissioning.

For more than 20 years we have offered winch technology from Habegger, Planeta and Tractel in our range. Determine load, travel and installation situation to decide which hoist or winch fits.

The scope of supply includes procurement coordination, assembly, commissioning, and on-site support. Necessary mechanical and static questions can be coordinated with our in-house steel and metal construction team.

What we take on in winch technology

  • Independently of the manufacturer, advice on the right winch
  • Selection and procurement of winches for lifting and pulling
  • Delivery and installation at the site of use
  • commissioning and support in operation
  • Maintenance and refurbishment of existing winch systems
  • Design and static for required installations

From lifting or pulling task to winch

  1. Clarify deployment data

    We record task, load, travel, installation situation, and operating conditions as the basis for selection and design.

  2. Select winch

    We compare suitable technology across manufacturers and coordinate the winch implementation with you.

  1. Deliver and install

    We coordinate procurement and integrate the winch including necessary constructions.

  2. Commissioning

    We accompany the commissioning and later assist with maintenance, repair, and testing of wind winches.

What winch technology costs

The costs of winch technology arise from the task, load, installation situation, and the scope of delivery, installation and service.

For an initial assessment we need task, load, location, and information about existing equipment.

Frequently asked questions about winch technology

Which winch is suitable for my use?

Hoist or pull task, load, travel, installation situation and operating conditions determine the execution. We compare suitable winch technology independent of the manufacturer.

What factors determine the costs of winch technology?

Design, winch, accessories, installation situation as well as delivery, installation and service form the basis for the quote. For the initial classification we need the task, load, and location.

Do you handle delivery and installation?

Yes. We coordinate procurement, deliver and install the winch, and accompany commissioning.

Do you service and repair existing winches?

Yes. Maintenance and repair are part of the service. After reviewing the condition we determine which technical step makes sense.

Is the winch inspection included?

The periodic winch inspection is a standalone service with a defined scope of testing and documented findings. Therefore, it is described on a separate page.
