5T/8T Double Drum Engine Powered Winch (Petrol/Diesel)
5T/8T Double Drum Engine Powered Winch for power line stringing, telecom cable pulling, and tower erection in remote locations. Available in 50kN and 80kN models with Honda petrol or diesel engines. Its unique dual-drum design enables continuous pulling—while one drum hauls the conductor, the other retrieves the pilot rope, maximizing efficiency and safety. Two forward speeds handle heavy loads up to 80kN or deliver fast line speeds up to 30 m/min, plus a dedicated reverse gear. Compact (160-170 kg) and completely electricity-free, this portable winch is ideal for transmission, distribution, and telecom construction projects where reliable, controlled pulling power is essential.

5T/8T Double Drum Engine‑Powered Winch (Petrol/Diesel)
Introducing the 5T/8T Double Drum Engine Powered Winch — a purpose‑built pulling solution for overhead transmission line stringing, telecommunications cable installation, and pole/tower erection work. Available in JM‑5A (50 kN rated load) and JM‑8A (80 kN) configurations, the winch provides reliable, portable muscle for contractors operating far from mains power. Its compact frame keeps transport weight down to just 160 kg (5T) or 170 kg (8T), yet the machine delivers the high pulling forces and controlled line speeds needed to string conductors, set concrete poles, or lift tower sections safely and efficiently

Power for this winch comes from a choice of proven industrial engines. Petrol variants employ Honda GX series units (GX190 for the 5T, GX390 for the 8T) or equivalent Yamaha engines prized for easy starting and long service intervals. A diesel 190F option is also available on the 8T model, offering generous low‑end torque and superior fuel economy during continuous heavy‑duty cycles. This flexibility means you can select the prime mover that best matches your fuel logistics and operational preference, confident that the winch will run reliably day after day in remote, non‑electricity locations.
This engine powered winch uses a two‑speed forward gearbox with a separate reverse gear, all controlled by a positive‑engagement selector. In first gear (Slow), the JM‑5A exerts a maximum pull of 50 kN at 4.5 m/min, while the JM‑8A reaches 80 kN at 5.5 m/min — ideal for initial tensioning and heavy‑load pulls. When the load lightens, second gear (Fast) provides higher rope speeds: the 5T unit achieves 11 m/min at 20 kN and up to 22 m/min at 10 kN, and the 8T unit delivers 15 m/min at 30 kN and 30 m/min at 20 kN. A dedicated reverse gear operates at 9 m/min (5T) or 11 m/min (8T) for swift back‑spooling; it is designed strictly for non‑lifting applications, reinforcing safe working practices on site.
A hallmark of this design is its double‑drum arrangement. Unlike single‑drum winches that force the crew to fully respool between pulls, the twin drums allow near‑continuous operation. While one drum actively pulls the conductor or pilot rope, the second can be rigged with the next line or used to retrieve a spent rope, dramatically reducing idle time during stringing operations. The drum profiles are engineered to grip the steel wire rope tightly, ensuring smooth, evenly wound layers that minimise slippage, reduce whipping risk, and extend rope life. This dual‑drum system not only improves productivity but also enhances safety by keeping both ropes under positive control at every stage of the job.
Operations are managed through ergonomic, clearly marked controls. A mechanical brake holds the load steady when the engine is idling or shut down, and the transmission’s positive‑lock gear selection prevents inadvertent shifts under tension. The integrated skid frame makes the winch easy to position on uneven ground, flatbeds, or tower footings, and tie‑down points are provided for secure transport. Day‑to‑day maintenance is straightforward, with grouped service access for oil checks, air filter cleaning, and cable lubrication.
In the field, the engine powered winch excels across a range of applications: stringing ACSR, AAAC, or OPGW conductors; pulling underground cables through ducts; hoisting tower sections during assembly; tensioning guys and backstays; and recovering old lines. Its ability to operate independently of an electricity supply makes it invaluable for greenfield transmission projects, forested corridors, and mountainous terrain. The careful balance of pulling force, speed selection, and dual‑drum efficiency translates into shorter job cycles, lower labour costs, and a smaller equipment footprint.
To support long‑term reliability, the winch is built on a heavy‑gauge steel chassis with weather‑resistant coating, and all rotating components run on sealed bearings. The combination of a robust engine, a straightforward mechanical transmission, and the time‑tested double‑drum layout has proven itself on construction sites worldwide. Whether you are erecting a single telecom mast or building a multi‑span transmission line, the 5T/8T Double Drum Engine‑Powered Winch delivers the controlled pulling power you need, wherever the job takes you.
