Industrial Friction Winch (Friction Type Winch / Friction Drum Winch)

Our friction winch (also known as friction drum winch or friction type electric winch) is a professional-grade industrial hoisting. With a load capacity range of 200 kg to 8,000 kg and rated voltage options of 220-380V, this winch excels in coal mine shaft lifting, large inclined shaft / slope hoisting, cable pulling, and ropeway / aerial cableway traction.

Engineered for reliability in harsh environments like underground mining, surface quarries, and infrastructure projects, our friction winch uses the proven friction drum principle to deliver constant tension, smooth operation, minimal rope wear, and extended service life—ideal for long-distance pulling and large-stroke lifting of heavy loads such as concrete structures, steel cables, mining materials, and equipment.

Key Features & Industrial Advantages

  • Wide Load Range — 200 kg – 8,000 kg, perfectly suited for medium to heavy-duty mining and traction tasks.
  • Electric Drive (220-380V) — Stable power supply, compatible with standard industrial grids; low noise and high efficiency.
  • Friction Drum Mechanism — Maintains constant rope tension and speed; reduces impact force, minimizes wire rope deflection angle, and significantly extends rope lifespan compared to traditional drum winches.
  • Precise & Safe Braking — Unidirectional ratchet brake system allows stable locking at any position, ensuring zero slip under load for maximum operational safety in mining and inclined environments.
  • Continuous Operation Design — Built-in high-pressure rotary slip ring oil supply system enables uninterrupted hydraulic fluid delivery during drum rotation, preventing hose twisting—especially valuable for integrated systems requiring constant lubrication or fluid transfer.
  • Marine-Grade Corrosion Protection — Reel coated with marine-grade epoxy zinc-rich paint (film thickness ≥200 microns) for superior rust resistance in humid, corrosive mine shafts or coastal cable traction setups.
  • Enhanced Protection & Durability — Includes 150-foot pig-tail spiral protective sheath on hoses; stainless steel (SS) fittings and compatibility with 3/4-inch quick couplers.
  • Efficient Manual Backup — 1:1 hand-crank turntable for quick, effortless manual winding/unwinding during power outages or fine adjustments.
  • Easy Installation & Handling — Compact integrated structure; includes forklift slots and lifting ears for fast positioning in tight mine tunnels or offshore-adjacent sites.

Primary Application Scenarios

  • Coal mine & mineral mine shaft lifting — Vertical or inclined shaft hoisting of coal, ore, personnel, and equipment.
  • Large inclined shaft / slope transportation — Reliable pulling on steep gradients in mining or tunnel projects.
  • Cable and ropeway traction — Long-distance, high-stability pulling of heavy cables, steel ropes, or aerial tramway systems.
  • Infrastructure & heavy construction — Suitable for bridge/ port construction, large concrete/steel structure relocation, and similar long-stroke operations.
