Compact winches have been developed and produced at the Liebherr plant in Biberach for more than forty years. With output drive torques of 5,000 Nm to 550,000 Nm, rope pulling forces of 25 kN up to 550 kN and weights of up to 20,000 kg, they have proved their capabilities not only in mobile and maritime cranes but also in construction and crawler cranes.
