Innovative New Design on Classic Equipment

Winches are one of the oldest pieces of human technology, having been used at least since ancient Greece to help humans lift and move heavy objects. Winches contain several different components - a cable wire, a drum, a motor, and a gear train - that work together to lift, hoist, and move heavy objects.  

Today, winches are still used across industries and are available in a range of sizes and strengths for different industrial applications. Thern’s line of winches combine the classic winch with new engineering designs to create innovative load handling equipment for nearly every industry.
