It is said, the concept of using winches to move large and heavy objects dates to ancient Greece, 5th century BC. The Greeks used winches and pulleys to construct their temples, theatres, and other world-renowned structures, famously known all around the world1. The principles behind the technology manifested through refinements and improvements over the centuries, leading to the advanced equipment that is used in various manufacturing industries today.
In the paper and board industry, winches, levers, and chain blocks are used for a variety of different purposes including, moving raw materials, maintenance and repair, and waste removal. These critical tools come with several industry pain points, that can lead to downtime and costly replacement.
