REMANUFACTURING PROCESS

Following is the typical process we use to remanufacture used winches and hoists.

The winch is completely disassembled, inspected for wear on gears, bearings, shafts, etc.  All of the preceding components are thoroughly inspected to assure they are in very good, used condition. If they are found to be damaged or worn beyond acceptable tolerances they are replaced.

PAINT

We sandblast the existing frame to white metal. The machine is then painted with a 3-part system to guaranty the best corrosion-resistance possible. 

The frame and all applicable parts are primed with either Sherwin Williams Acylon 218, size 19 inorganic zinc coating or Dimetcote inorganic zinc primer. Then the machine is painted with a high-quality epoxy second coat in a color of your choice (within reason) and last, a coat of polyurethane gloss is applied to insure maximum durability and protection prior to reassembly. 

FRICTION & BRAKE BAND LININGS

The friction and brake band linings are replaced with new American-made RedCo (Redaway) high-quality, non-asbestos lining material.

BEARINGS

All bearings are thoroughly inspected to assure they are not damaged or worn beyond acceptable tolerances. If damage or wear is discovered they are replaced. 

CHAIN & GEAR CASES, SPROCKETS & CHAIN

If purchased without power, the unit will include chain case, main drive sprocket, pinion sprocket and chain. Chain and gear cases are built new with approximately 10 or 11 gauge steel. All cases are painted inside and out.

GEAR GUARD

We include gear guards, built new, that protect the gears from the possibility of cable becoming meshed in them. All gear guards are painted inside and out.

AIR SYSTEM & AIR CONTROL STATION

If the unit is an air-controlled machine it will be air-controlled on all functions; frictions, brakes & dogs.  All air cans and air controls are new. The air control console is built to a specified dimension and is remotable to a distance desired (for Pilothouse applications) within reason.

LIFTING BRACKETS

The winch has a 4-point lifting location for easy lifting and placement.

PARTS & REPLACEMENT PARTS

All parts, including pins, bolts, nuts, shafts, etc. are anti-seized for ease of disassembly in the advent of repairs.

Most replacement parts are available from our inventory or can be manufactured expediently in the event of a breakdown.
