Pull-in & Hoisting

Cable Pull-In systems & hoistsolutions for installation of both shore & offshore wind farms.

DROMEC Winches pull-in system

The pull-in system is used to pull power and data cables from the vessel into the wind turbine. It’s a complex tool specifically developed by DROMEC Winches for this purpose.

Constant Tension

Before installing the wind turbine on the platform, the pull-in operation takes place. The cables are pulled from the vessel through the seabed onto the platform using the pull-in system under Constant Tension. This means the cable is always kept at a predetermined tension, even in the event of unexpected increases or decreases in cable force, preventing cable overload. This special tool has a nominal pulling force of 10T. The force is applied through friction between the rope and a special capstan head. By adjusting the number of windings in combination with a tensioner, the pulling force is ensured up to a holding force of 12T.
