SEVENCRANE recently completed the production of a customized Electric Winch for a customer in Ghana, providing a reliable pulling solution for timber handling in the furniture manufacturing industry. The project was completed within 15 working days and shipped under FCA trade terms, following a transportation adjustment from the original EXW agreement. The freight cost was updated accordingly, increasing by USD 170 to accommodate the customer's preferred delivery arrangement.
The customer selected a 50% T/T deposit with the remaining 50% paid before shipment, allowing production to begin immediately after order confirmation. Because this application involved pulling large logs rather than conventional lifting operations, the project required extensive engineering customization to ensure both performance and operational safety.
Customized Electric Winch for Log Pulling
Unlike standard warehouse or construction applications, this Electric Winch will be installed in a sawmill environment to pull heavy logs during timber processing. The customer operates a furniture manufacturing factory and needed a robust pulling system capable of handling rough outdoor working conditions while maintaining smooth and controllable operation.
The final equipment configuration included:
- Model: JM Electric Winch
- Working Duty: A3
- Rated Capacity: 3 tons
- Rated Pulling Force: 30 kN
- Wire Rope Length: 30 meters
- Power Supply: 400V, 50Hz, 3 Phase
- Variable Frequency Speed: 2–25 m/min
- Potentiometer Speed Control
- One Complete Pulley Block
- Standard Painting
The customer required the winch primarily for pulling logs rather than lifting loads vertically, making smooth speed adjustment and reliable pulling force particularly important.
Extensive Customization to Meet Special Requirements
This project involved far more customization than a standard Electric Winch order. Because of the customer's unique working environment, several additional requirements were incorporated into the design.
The control system includes:
- Emergency stop button
- Forward and reverse operation
- Variable frequency speed control using a potentiometer
This allows operators to adjust the pulling speed continuously according to the size and weight of different logs, improving both safety and working efficiency.
In addition, SEVENCRANE provided complete foundation anchoring and civil installation drawings, enabling the customer to prepare the installation site before the equipment arrived.
Special Side-Opening Pulley Block
One of the most important customized components was the pulley block.
The customer requested a side-opening (snatch block) design, allowing the wire rope to be inserted directly without removing the rope end. This greatly improves efficiency during field operation where ropes are frequently installed and removed.
Additional pulley requirements included:
- Safe locking side plate to prevent accidental opening
- Rated load of 6 tons
- Large steel pulley approximately 300 mm in diameter
- Suitable for 15.5 mm wire rope
- Required pulley diameter between 280–310 mm
- Heat-treated steel construction
- Sealed bearings for long service life
These specifications ensure reliable performance even under demanding timber handling conditions.
Professional Technical Support Builds Customer Confidence
The customer is the owner of a furniture manufacturing company and had very specific expectations regarding equipment performance. Since the application was quite different from ordinary lifting projects, the customer placed great emphasis on customization rather than simply purchasing a standard model.
To ensure every technical detail met the actual working requirements, SEVENCRANE's sales and engineering teams conducted three separate technical discussions with the customer. During these meetings, topics such as pulling force, operating speed, pulley configuration, installation method, and control system were carefully reviewed.
After several rounds of optimization, the final solution fully satisfied the customer's operational needs. The customer expressed confidence in the proposed design and confirmed the order shortly afterward.
