Wire rope hoists

1922	Development and production of the first electric train type SS with wire rope and drum. For the first time, this enables higher conveying heights and faster lifting speeds.
1952	Series production of type C electric wire rope hoists begins. Due to the modular design, the possible uses of the wire rope hoist are versatile and almost unlimited. For the first time, two lifting speeds are also possible.
1978	Introduction of the AS wire rope hoist series. This wire rope hoist also has a modular design. The motor, gearbox and drum lie one behind the other on a common axis.
1998	The new generation: The result of many years of experience is the modern SH wire rope hoist with different performance sizes. It is one of the most modern wire rope constructions in a compact U-design.
2004	Market launch of the SHW winches. The load-bearing capacity of the wire rope hoists is extended into the heavy-duty range.
2008	Introduction of the explosion-proof SH wire rope hoist for use in gas liquefaction plants (LNG).
2010	The series of the AS 7 ZW wire rope hoist with twin hoist extends the payload range of the proven wire rope hoist into the heavyweight class.
2011	Sales launch of the new standard winch SW with load capacities of up to 250 t.
2013	Expansion of the AS series by the ASR 7. The wire rope hoist has been specially developed for the payload range between 20 and 32 tonnes.
2015	Introduction of the SHA wire rope hoist series.
