6 HYDRAULIC TWIN-WINCHES 2 HYDRAULIC WINCHES 45 TONS ON RENAULT TRUCKS VEHICLES 50.000 daN ON VEHICLES STARTER teams have designed and implemented an embedded twin-winch system on a tank transporter and equipment carrier. It is a French company that develops, assembles and sells industrial and commercial vehicles. It belongs to the Volvo Group since 2001. Design, manufacturing and installation of a rear cabin twin-winch system for a tank carrier vehicle. This system mainly consists of two 25-ton winches located at the rear of the cabin. challenges The maximum total pulling capacity of the winches (50,000 daN) exceeds the strength of the original vehicle chassis. It was therefore necessary to strengthen the chassis, while respecting the technical specifications provided by the body builder.

starter solution The twin-winch is fixed to the vehicle by means of two subframe load balancers. These subframes are bolted without any welding which allows prolonged longevity of the material and also give the possibility to change the destination of the original vehicle by removing existing equipment. This system also includes all necessary components for the hydraulic generation (pumps, hoses, tanks, filters and electrical control) and a system for handling and transportation of the spare wheel. After design and computer simulation, dynamic load testing was performed on rigs and full-scale...
