Spooling Services
The design, manufacture and hire of spooling winches and the provision of specialist spooling services embody one of ACE Winches' many areas of expertise. Our capabilities in spooling products and services are fourfold.
At ACE Winches, we specialise in:
- Design and manufacture of bespoke spooling winch packages, tailored to client requirements
- Hire of an extensive range of spooling winches, supplied at short notice
- Hire of personnel, providing clients with skilled technicians and engineers to operate and maintain spooling equipment in any location
- Comprehensive spooling services at our dedicated Wire Rope and Umbilical Spooling Facility, catering for all types of wire rope, non-wire rope and umbilical spooling operations
Appreciating that client requirements for spooling operations differ between projects, ACE Winches can design and manufacture hydraulic and pneumatic spooling winches to specific requirements. Whether manufactured or hired, a range of ACE spooling winches is available, with maximum storage capacities ranging from 5 to 25 tonnes capacity for pneumatic units and 25 to 250 tonnes capacity for hydraulic units, with Traction Capstan Spooling Systems available to provide up to 60 tonnes of back tension directly from manufacturers’ reels.
Working in tandem with clients
Working in tandem with clients, ACE Winches can provide spooling winches with either fixed end or adjustable pedestals and with varying shaft sizes to suit different storage reel dimensions. We provide clients with a choice of power options. Spooling winches with self-contained hydraulic power units, available in both diesel and electric configurations, allow a winch to operate independently in any location. Stand-alone units may be a lighter, more cost-effective solution if the winch is to be used in a location with a readily available hydraulic or pneumatic power supply system. Hydraulic spooling winches can be supplied in direct drive or single spur gear configurations or with a sealed gear drive unit.
Wire Rope and Umbilical Spooling Facility
Our dedicated Wire Rope and Umbilical Spooling Facility complemented by our pool of experienced personnel ensure that spooling operations are carried out correctly in a controlled environment, in compliance with all relevant safety standards. All ACE spooling winches are effective at loading and spooling wire rope under the correct back tension. The ACE Wire Rope and Umbilical Spooling Facility is fully equipped with the highest standard of spooling winches, capable of spooling up to 200 tonnes of wire rope under back tension and is equipped with a selection of reels to meet with client's specific requirements.
