An electric winch is a motorised device designed to wind or unwind a cable (steel or synthetic) in order to lift, pull or move loads. Unlike manual winches, which require human strength to operate, electric winches are powered by an electric motor, enabling them to handle heavier loads. More powerful, they save time and offer greater convenience to the user.
HUCHEZ’s range of electric cable winches includes several models to meet different needs, constraints or environments.
Electric winches are used by professionals in many sectors, such as construction and civil engineering (lifting materials and handling on site, erecting structures, etc.), mining and quarrying (tensioning conveyor belts, etc.), industry (moving machinery, loading/unloading heavy parts, maintenance, automation, etc.), agriculture (operating hangar doors, etc.), and the marine sector (launching or hauling out boats, etc.)…
Compliant with the Machinery Directive and meeting current standards, they also feature a number of safety options that are mandatory for lifting operations, such as limit switches, an emergency stop, and, for loads of 1,000 kg or more, a load limiter.
These motorised winches are ideal for replacing manual winches and help to prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
Designed for simple lifting and pulling applications (handling doors or hatches, maintaining chandeliers, etc.), the MOTORBOX winch is available in a direct control version for use in sheltered conditions or in a very low voltage control version to protect users from electrical risks.

Models with a long drum offer greater winding capacity (up to 128 m as standard), whilst models with an FEM/ISO 3m/M6 rating are specifically designed for intensive use in harsh environments.
These industrial electric winches can be fitted with a wide range of optional equipment (construction site chassis, tubular protection, choice of motor position (vertical or horizontal), grooved drum, rope press roller, rope slack switch, etc.).
With their large cable capacity (up to 325 m as standard), TE electric winches are designed for lifting loads ranging from 600 kg to 10 tonnes in their standard configuration.
Renowned for their robustness and reliability, these electric winches are equally suited to indoor and outdoor use across a wide range of sectors (industry, mining and quarrying, civil engineering and construction, etc.) for a wide range of lifting applications such as formwork installation or lifting materials on site, raising counterweights during maintenance operations on conveyor belts, etc.
By design, these electric winches can be mounted vertically and fitted with a wide range of optional equipment (construction site frame, tubular guard, grooved drum, cable guide roller, slack detection switch, etc.).
With their large cable capacity (up to 310 m as standard), TT electric winches are designed for pulling and hauling loads of 2.5 to 15 tonnes in their standard configuration.
Renowned for their robustness and reliability, these electric winches are equally suited to indoor and outdoor use across a wide range of sectors (industry, mining and quarrying, civil engineering and construction, etc.) for a wide variety of pulling/hauling applications, such as moving wagons in industry or ships in a shipyard, or manoeuvring barges…
By design, these electric traction winches can be mounted vertically and fitted with a wide range of optional equipment (construction chassis, tubular guard, grooved drum, cable press roller, slack cable switch, etc.).
This range of winches is specially designed for pulling and holding applications, both indoors and outdoors, requiring long cable lengths (up to 260 m as standard), particularly in maritime and river transport (barge towing, etc.) but also in industry, construction, and civil engineering…
These TRAKZIO-R electric winches feature large cable capacity (up to 260 m as standard) and, as standard, offer a first-layer force of 2.4 to 15 tonnes for pulling/towing and 20 to 40 tonnes for holding.

This range of electric winches is specially designed for lifting and pulling/hauling very heavy loads, both indoors and outdoors, where precision, reliability and robustness are essential.
Powerful and versatile, these electric winches feature large cable capacity (up to 520 m as standard) and, as standard, offer a top-of-drum capacity of up to 35 t for lifting and 50 t for pulling/hauling. They are ideal for sites requiring long cable lengths in industry, construction, port environments, marine applications, mining, and more.
Due to their design, these winches can be fitted with a wide range of optional equipment (construction chassis, tubular protection, remote control box, special paint finish, etc.).
In industrial sectors where operating conditions are extreme, the reliability and robustness of lifting and pulling equipment are essential.
PL electric winches stand out for their power and versatility. They are particularly suited to the most demanding applications in heavy industry (lifting and hauling loads in factories, mines and quarries, etc.), the construction sector (on building sites, for lifting structures or moving materials), and in port and marine environments (handling loads on quays, ships or offshore platforms, etc.) …
A high-performance and durable solution, these electric winches can be fitted with a wide range of optional equipment to adapt to all constraints and environments.
This range of travelling trolleys enables Huchez-manufactured electric winches (TRBoxter or INDUSTRIA) to be used on jib cranes or on IPE, IPN and HEB-type rails.
The electric winch becomes mobile thanks to the integrated electric travelling trolley: the assembly, mounted on a rail, then moves horizontally along it.
Lifting and travelling of loads are thus made possible whenever a hoist cannot be used: lifting to very great heights in industry and construction, high lifting speeds are required, or where specific installation constraints (limited headroom, etc.) or usage requirements (equipping scientific research vessels to launch probes at sea, lifting platforms in a zoo, etc.) must be met.

When laying telecommunications or power cables (safe and rapid pulling of power lines, fibre optics, etc.), whether in civil engineering or industrial cabling, WL1010-type electric capstan winches are an indispensable aid. Simple to install and use, they are characterised by their mobility and compact design, making them ideal for confined spaces.
Designed to be secured using bolts or chains, they can be used in a variety of ways.
