Model. CT170/240 MINI ELECTRIC WINCH

The motor system is offered with a choice of single-phase voltages for the target market. Standard production data is based on 220 V 50/60 Hz; state the line voltage and plug standard when you configure the order.

The CT170/240 is designed for vertical lifting of materials where a portable, lightweight winch is more practical than a fixed hoist. Typical uses include:

• Hanging and lifting structural steel members, curtain-wall glass panels and facade components.
• Raising advertising boards, signs and temporary display structures.
• Moving stored materials, freight and machine parts between floor levels.
• Supporting maintenance work at height where the winch can be moved to the job position.

The winch is not a personnel lift. Do not use it to raise or lower people, and keep the working area clear below the load. The one-piece aluminium die-cast housing keeps the complete drive train aligned, which is important when the winch is repositioned frequently on site.

The CT170/240 is built around a permanent-magnet brushless motor with no capacitor and SCM-based control. This gives stable performance, high power factor and plug-in wiring for easier service. The motor has temperature protection and overload protection, and the 200 degrees C-rated enameled wire provides thermal headroom for longer working periods.

The dual braking system combines a mechanical ratchet brake with resistive short-circuit control. A high-friction sintered brake stops the motor quickly if power is interrupted or the winch fails, reducing the drop distance and protecting both the load and the machine.

An integrated limit switch stops the winch when the hook reaches the preset lifting height or when the wire rope reverses. The 5 mm wire rope is supplied with a safety factor stated at four times that of ordinary machines, and the rope path is kept clean by the drum layout.

A high-efficiency bevel-drive reduction gear, heat-treated for wear resistance, transmits power to the drum. The gear set is produced to three times the strength of conventional gears, and the motor gearbox housing is a one-piece aluminium alloy die-casting machined by CNC for smooth, low-noise running, then powder coated to an automotive-grade finish.

For standard orders, we configure the CT170/240 around the rated load, lifting height, wire rope length, voltage and control arrangement. For OEM programs, we can adapt the housing finish, markings, control system settings, cable management and packaging to the customer brand while keeping the same production line. All partners receive a traceable production record linked to live quality data.

The factory quality system is compliant with ISO, CE marking and ASME-based manufacturing standards. The CT170/240 sits inside our Mini Electric winch range. If the project requires more capacity, the Model. M160/230/300 MINI ELECTRIC WINCH and other models in the range extend the same compact layout to 300-500 kg. We recommend sending the working point rather than a single maximum load, because duty cycle and lifting height affect the correct motor and brake selection.

To prepare a proposal and production drawing, we need the following project data. The more exactly you define the cycle, the better we can match the CT170 or CT240 specification.

• Line voltage, frequency, phase and plug/cable standard for the destination market.
• Rated load, lifting height and required wire rope length with hook or end fitting.
• Duty cycle: lifts per hour, average load, operating hours per day.
• Mounting arrangement: fixed bracket, beam clamp, wall plate or mobile frame.
• Control requirement: pendant switch, remote control, low-voltage control or interface to an existing panel.
• Limit-switch setting, if the lifting height must be limited to a fixed value.
• OEM program details: brand marking, housing colour, carton and pallet specification.

Mount the winch on a flat, rigid surface using fixings rated for the working load plus the expected dynamic load. Align the rope so that it spools evenly onto the drum and avoid side pull. The electrical supply should be protected by a suitable residual-current device and the winch must be earthed before operation.

Set the limit switch for the actual lifting height and run an unloaded test before lifting the first load. During commissioning, check the brake by raising a test load, stopping, and confirming that the load holds. The operator should be trained to keep hands clear of the rope and to lower the load when the winch is not in use.

Maintenance mainly covers the wire rope, brake and electrical connections. Use the plug-in wiring points to speed up service, inspect the rope for broken wires or kinks before each shift, and verify the brake function at regular intervals. Spare parts are available for the motor, brake assembly, control board and rope drum, and service instructions are supplied with the equipment.

Our portfolio also includes BL170 MINI BRUSHLESS ELECTRIC WINCH for applications with different operating ranges, interfaces or integration requirements.
