Applications

Crane re-reeving and hoist rope changeouts

When a large crane needs new hoist or boom rope, the spooling unit holds the reel and turns it. Spool the old rope off the winch drum onto an empty reel, then pay the new rope off its reel onto the drum during re-reeving. Directional controls let you spool on or off.

Derrick barges and marine winches

Derrick barge and marine operators use our units and spooling crews to change out and respool winch rope.

Offshore and ocean tugs

Our spooling work extends offshore, including respooling the winch on an ocean-going tug.
