3t Portal Winches

Rio had rejected other Taiwanese winches being offered as those did not fully meet AS1418 hoist code and approached Eilbeck to custom build a winch to fit their demands. After successfully having delivered the custom built winch, Rio ordered two more custom winches.

The new winches have a 3 tonne pull at 4.0 m/min 140m line capacity, VSD control with a remote control, IP66 rotary limit and simple plug fitting and standard Wilco outlet.

Eilbeck Cranes designed these winches specifically to Rio Tinto's specifications and manufactured in their new Winch Factory in Sydney.
