-
A turbine winch designed for theatre and stage applications — also known as a stage winch or theatre winch. Grooved drum with press roller for orderly rope winding; RV-type turbine geared motor for quiet, noise-free operation; electromagnetic brake; and mechanical height limiter with four settable positions. Series rated 250–3000 kg, duty class M4.Quick Specs
Rated load: 250–3000 kg (6 models) Motor: 0.4–3 kW RV turbine geared motor Rope: Ø5–14 mm Duty class: M4 Brake: electromagnetic Limiter: mechanical, 4 settable positions Application: stage / theatreApplication Scenarios and Applicable Boundaries
- Theatres & stages — winch duties for stage machinery, also known as stage winches or theatre winches. - Quiet-environment venues — RV turbine drive provides quiet operation, supporting a quiet environment for stage and theatre performances. - Stage scenery & battens — lifting and positioning of stage scenery, battens and equipment. - Custom configurations — load, speed, rope, control, installation, rope outlet direction and materials configurable per application. Boundary: The standard configuration is not intended for personnel lifting. Confirm the load, rope, duty cycle and environment before ordering.Features Benefits
Orderly rope winding — The grooved drum with press roller enables orderly rope layering, helping prevent rope tangling and improving working efficiency.
Orderly rope winding — The grooved drum with press roller enables orderly rope layering, helping prevent rope tangling and improving working efficiency.
Fast, safe stopping — The electromagnetic brake supports safe, reliable operation and stops motion quickly when needed, helping prevent accidents.Complete Technical Specifications

The winch is supplied on a base frame with pre-drilled mounting holes for installation in stage machinery spaces. Overall dimensions, mounting orientation and rope outlet direction are confirmed on the general arrangement drawing after configuration approval. Available interfaces include: motor power terminals, electromagnetic brake control, mechanical height limiter contacts, and optional encoder and main-shaft limit switch, pendant remote, limit switch, rope guide and slip ring. Electrical interfaces are defined in the final wiring diagram.Control Safety and Protection
- Normal control: electric drive as standard; control mode per the configured scheme. - Stopping & holding: electromagnetic brake supports safe, reliable stopping; holding behavior confirmed in the control scheme. - Travel protection: mechanical height limiter with four settable positions; encoder and limit switch available as options. - Rope control: grooved drum with press roller supports orderly rope layering. - Environment: quiet operation supports stage/theatre venues; confirm temperature range and site conditions before ordering. Standard vs optional items are confirmed on the control scheme for each order.Customization Options and Engineering Process
Configured around your operating conditions — Share the required line pull, rope travel, operating speed, duty cycle, power supply, installation envelope and environment. KLD will review the application and provide a proposed configuration, technical drawing and quotation for approval. Free design schematics are provided for different scenarios.Requirements → Concept → Drawing & Quotation → Approval → Production & Test → DeliveryStandards Testing and Quality
The company operates an ISO 9001 quality management system. CE conformity documents (LVD, EMC) are available for applicable configurations on request. Classification certificates (e.g. LRS / BV / ABS / DNV GL) can be arranged as an optional item for marine applications. Factory testing follows the approved technical specification for each configured unit and may include: no-load run, rated-load operation, brake function, limiter function and control verification. Available documentation may include dimensional drawings, electrical diagrams, inspection records and functional test results, depending on project scope.Engineering Cases
Challenge: A theatre required quiet, orderly-rewinding winches for stage machinery, with reliable braking and flexible limit setting. Solution: Turbine winches (250–3000 kg class) with grooved drum and press roller, RV-type turbine geared motor, electromagnetic brake and 4-position mechanical height limiter, selected per stage duty. Outcome: The winches passed the customer's functional acceptance procedure for the planned stage duties.Challenge: A theatre required quiet, orderly-rewinding winches for stage machinery, with reliable braking and flexible limit setting.
