Electric winch systems - Dromec Winches

Ampelmann delivers safe and efficient offshore access solutions to the global offshore energy sector. Its portfolio of modular and energy efficient gangways is tailored to meet every local and global demand, providing reliable and consistent access to offshore installations in a variety of sea states and weather conditions. In collaboration with the engineers at DROMEC Winches, Ampelmann has developed 3 electric energy-efficient winch systems.

Energy Efficiency

Ampelmann previously used hydraulic transfer systems, employing a big power pack to operate cylinders and hydraulic hoisting winches. In this era of sustainability and energy conservation, Ampelmann approached the engineers at DROMEC Winches to jointly devise a more sustainable solution. This led to the electrification of 3 winch systems, resulting in a net consumption of 10% related to the previous big power pack, a significant reduction compared for the 31-meter-long gangway.

Kees-Jaap van Nes, Senior Project Manager at Ampelmann, says,
“I am very satisfied with our collaboration with Dromec. It’s a great product developed through excellent teamwork.”

DROMEC winches. Your movement in good hands.

Dynamic and Innovative in winches, winchsystems, controls and software. With our enthousiastic team, we develop from small till very big & complex systems with the highest demands in terms of safety and ease of use. We also work very closely with certified body’s as DNV, GL, BV, ABS, Lloyds so your winches and systems can be completely certified at our own company together with you.

It often starts with a good idea, preferably on a piece of scrap paper. After an initial consultation, we prepare one or more proposals, including a target price and preliminary drawing. Your idea or problem, always remains central in this. If the feeling on both sides is good, we start. Thanks to our own inhouse developed and written project software, your project stays in the picture and under control from start to finish, including the planning and delivery time.

We are LRQA ISO 9001 certified. Our policy is to maintain a healthy business by continuously improving the quality of our winches, drives, software and services. We strive for respect for people and nature, which contributes to the quality of our work. You can find our full policy statement here.
