At AS SCAN, we design and manufacture advanced hydraulic winches tailored for demanding work environments in the wind industry. These units are developed to deliver precise, consistent performance during critical tower-related tasks, contributing to safe, stable and efficient workflows throughout installation and major service operations.
Wire-Guided Hydraulic Winch
This winch is equipped with a threaded stainless-steel wire guide and stainless-steel fairlead for precise and reliable rope alignment.
It is designed to maintain controlled rope tension and handle slack efficiently, ensuring smooth and predictable operation when working on the tower.

Use in Modern Wind Turbine Projects
As turbines continue to grow in size and complexity, the need for robust and reliable auxiliary equipment during installation and service has increased.
AS SCAN’s hydraulic winches are built to support these evolving requirements, providing strength, control and stability in a wide range of tower-related applications.
Such winches are commonly used in:
- Offshore installations
- Large, high-capacity turbines
- Retrofitting and major component replacement
- Projects requiring precise rope handling and controlled load conditions
