Winches Lifting the Standards

Aerial-lift-winches

You may have seen utility lifts casually working on power lines or trimming trees while driving down the road. It is crucial to have an efficient and reliable utility lift in the construction, tree care, and facility maintenance sectors to get the job done quickly and safely. Many types of aerial lifts serve different purposes, but the key focus of this article is compact track lifts. Aerial lifts usually comprise a platform (driven by wheels or tracks), boom, hydraulic system, and material handling option. The boom is the “arm” that rotates 360 degrees, allowing the bucket to be lifted vertically. So often, the bucket is equipped with a “material handling winch” that will enable the user to transport materials to and from the bucket while airborne.

WPT Power supplies its “material handling winches” to many OEMs who want to include this option for their aerial lifts. Attached to the bucket’s base, WPT Winches provides the user with time savings from lowering the bucket to gathering equipment and repositioning. Available in different size capacities, OEMs often choose WPT Power over other suppliers due to the quality, price, and lead times. The WPT Engineering Team works closely with OEMs to meet design specifications and ensure the customer gets top-of-the-line equipment.
