General Engineering Construction

General Engineering Construction

Construction winch is mainly used for material vertical lifting and horizontal pulling. It can be used singly or regard as one mechanical component for cranes and hoisting machine. The reason for widely using due to its simple operation process, large amount of winding ropes and convenient moving. It can lift vertically and pull in horizontal or slant direction. There are three types of driven mode including electric driven, hydraulic driven and diesel driven, its design could be customized according to different conditions in your project site, if it is not possible to supply electricity in local project site, we recommend using diesel winch to complete the work. Whenever you need our technical proposal and support , please feel free to contact us at any time.

Mining Industry

Mining Industry

Mine winch is mainly used in coal mines, metal mines and non-metallic mine, used for lifting coal, materials, people and landing materials, equipment, etc. In vertical mine or inclined shaft mine,  this type winch can also be used for other object pulling or transferring purpose. It is a major transportation equipment that contacts the downhole with the ground. The winch is mounted on the ground to drive the lifting system in the wellbore or ramps by using of wire ropes. Mines, especially The downhole conditions and work environment are relatively bad compared to the ground, therefore we must ensure the security of workers when using mine winch, and it is very important to know its structure, features and design methods well.

Hydropower Station & Hydraulic Engineering

Hydropower Station & Hydraulic Engineering

The winch is widely used in hydropower station and various large-scale water supply project, water conservancy and hydropower projects. It is often used to control all kinds of large, medium cast iron gate and steel gates to achieve the purpose of opening and closing. In general, electric winch is best choice, but in special case hydraulic winch could also be considered. In addition to above using purpose, in some hydropower stations or large power plants, some large equipment installation and maintenance also need the help of winch, if you have this kind requirement, please immediately send us your project scheme to us, we will offer you a perfect effective plan in the shortest time.

Docks, Dry Docks and Shipyards

Docks, Dry Docks and Shipyards

Ships and rigs moored at a dock or in a drydock must endure the same unrelenting salt water environment as they do at sea.  In the case where various deck equipment are required, there is time and money to be saved by procuring all the equipment from one source. Brayden’s shipboard and offshore winch designs are perfect for these applications. We can design for new foundations or adapt to existing ones, and make the installation seamless. Give us a call, we would be happy to offer our time and cost saving suggestions. and take advantage of many existing designs we can adapt for your application.  When it comes to deck equipment near the sea, chances are we can build a solution for you.

Offshore Platform

Offshore Platform

The mooring system is an important equipment that guarantees the normal production operation of marine offshore platform in the sea. This system often need to use mooring winch, or when the platform is under installation process and working stage, it is also possible to require pneumatic winch for pulling of lifting purpose. Brayden machinery designs and manufactures a full line of marine winches. However, due to the varied needs of the marine market, standard winches often cannot fill specific requirements. In response, through its “Diversified Problem Solving” approach, Brayden machinery routinely adapts and customizes winches with boom styles, capabilities and available options to meet customers’ exact needs. Brayden machinery has winches aboard offshore platforms, FSOs, FPSOs and Offshore Vessels all around the globe.

Vessel & Ship

Vessel & Ship

The most common use of marine winch is used for mooring and anchoring, which means that the winch is usually mounted on the front of the deck. The mooring system can keep the ship in place and prevent the ship from drift from the berth. The ship is a berth bucket to perform a variety of functions, for example, winch is used to store mooring ropes when not using, and drag the ship in place in the case of resistance to environmental forces, or can be used as a safety device once the force of mooring ropes is increased to the ultimate limit, and then the rope load is released in a controlled manner. Depending on the size, shape, and tonnage capacity of vessel, they will choose different rated working load winches; when the ship starts setting sail, the anchor winch will enable the chain on the anchor drum to leave the ship to leave the wharf or terminal; In some special circumstances, when tugging is needed, the winch will connect the vessel with towing winch and start dragging operation; when there are some work like loading and unloading operations on the ship, the winch also could be used for lifting and pulling completely. Whenever the vessel need to be anchored, stopped and dragged, mooring winch and anchor windlass will be very helpful and indispensable. When the ship reaches at the port or wharf and ready to stop, it is necessary to use an anchor windlass and mooring winch to ensure that it stops immediately and safely stays in place without moving or drifting.
