This three-day course has a range of objectives, both knowledge-based and skills-based. On completion of the course, participants will:
– Know the types of winch in common use across a range of industry applications and associated terminology;
– Be able to identify the hazard and manage risks associated with winch maintenance;
– Know the function, operation, application and control of the major components including winch construction;
– Know the principles of load sensing and associated valves, pumps, motor drive systems and motion control valves;
– Know the procedures to follow when carrying out effective installation, commissioning and fault diagnosis;
– Know the causes of failure in hydraulic systems and importance of good contamination management at all times.
During the practical sessions, participants will:
– Build hydraulic winch circuits by interpreting a hydraulic circuit diagram;
– Set up the hydraulic control valves for simple and load sensing winch systems;
– Set up the controls on a typical load sensing variable displacement pump;
– Connect the electrical interface to the hydraulic controls using manual switch and solenoids;
– Investigate hydraulic load-holding techniques.
Comments from pervious participants:
– The plant I work on has different winches, from 5 to 40 tons. Now I feel more confident – good for me, my company and the client
– The trainers are very skilled, friendly and have a solid background in the hydraulic industry, combining theory with practical technical training
– Thanks to the practical element the training is very effective
– Since August I’m now routinely troubleshooting, with the experience gained on this course
