Thorne & Derrick, the Specialist Distributor of LV HV Jointing, Earthing, Substation & Electrical Eqpt have supplied a cable winch requirement to a leading provider of offshore power distribution to the renewable and oil/gas sectors. 

The refurbished and customised 5 tonne cable winch was customised to enable the pull and installation of medium/high voltage power cables – the winch was deliveredCable Winch within 2 weeks from receipt of client order. The cable winch enabled the installation of cable runs up to 120 metres from the variable frequency drive (VFD) to the compressor junction box which goes from underground cable trench to above ground and onto the cable containment ladder racking system.

The cable winch modification was based on the standard SEB TW5000 version with additional cable tension dynamometer – the dynamometer continuously checks the cable pulling tension to ensure the forces do not exceed the recommended guidelines.

Additional features Pre-Set Load Function, Load Display, Test Certification & Load Cell.
