ES Project Overview
In early 2025, DQCRANES successfully designed and exported a JMW series 5 ton electric winch to a sugar milling plant in the Philippines. The slow speed winch is specifically engineered for bagged sugar loading conveyors, serving a key role in the client’s material handling process.
This project highlights DQCRANES’ capability to deliver customized industrial winch solutions for niche applications across Southeast Asia.
Client Requirement
The client, a well-known sugar manufacturer in the Philippines, required a durable and 5t electric winch to operate alongside bagged sugar loading conveyor systems. Key specifications included:
- Rated capacity: 5 tons
- Rope length: 25 meters
- Ultra-low speed (6m/min) for gentle placement
- Grooved drum: Required for precise rope alignment and extended rope life
- Groove pitch: 16mm

- Slow winch speed (6 m/min) for precise conveyor control during bagged sugar loading.
- Compact and heavy-duty design ideal for indoor sugar mill environments.
- Robust motor and brake system to ensure safety and control during frequent starts and stops.
Why the 16mm Grooved Drum?
The client specifically requested grooved drums to solve past issues:
Rope Guidance: Grooves prevent lateral movement, ensuring even winding.
Extended Rope Life: Reduced friction from 16mm pitch spacing minimizes wear.
Safety Compliance: Eliminated rope “jumping” during start/stop cycles.
“The 16mm groove pitch was non-negotiable. DQCRANES nailed the specs.” – Plant Engineering Manager
Manufacturing & Delivery
DQCRANES managed the entire process, from design to delivery, within 25 working days. The slow speed winch was carefully packed for export and shipped via sea freight to the client’s facility in Negros Island, Philippines.
Remote video installation guidance and operation manuals were provided to ensure smooth on-site commissioning.
Client Feedback
“We’re very satisfied with the 5 ton winch from DQCRANES. The grooved drum design and slow pulling speed work perfectly for our sugar bag conveyor system. It’s stable, powerful, and easy to operate.”

Electric Winch Installation Steps
1.1 Site Preparation
Ensure the foundation or support frame is strong enough to handle the rated load.
Verify the mounting surface is level, dry, and clean.
Maintain adequate clearance around the winch for operation and servicing.
1.2 Mounting the Winch
Use high-strength bolts to secure the winch to the base.
Ensure the drum is aligned with the pulling direction to avoid rope twisting.
For grooved drum winches, match the first rope layer properly with the groove start point.
1.3 Electrical Connection
Confirm power supply matches the winch’s voltage and frequency.
Connect the control panel and limit switches as per the wiring diagram.
Ensure proper grounding to avoid electrical hazards.
1.4 Wire Rope Installation
Use a uniform tension to wind the rope evenly on the drum.
For grooved drums, insert the rope precisely in the first groove.
Secure the rope end using proper clamps or wedge sockets.
1.5 Testing & Commissioning
Perform a no-load trial run to check motor direction, drum rotation, and braking.
Test the limit switches, emergency stop, and overload protection system.
Conduct a load test (typically 10% overload) as per standards before full use.
Safety Tips for Operating an Electric Winch
- Never exceed the rated load capacity.
- Avoid jerking starts; apply a steady pulling force.
- Keep personnel clear of the rope line during operation.
- Never use a damaged or kinked wire rope.
- Always perform a pre-start inspection before every shift.
