Cable pull machines with an open capstan

From compact portable winches to 4-ton trailer-mounted winches.

KZW 10

The compact machine for light cable pulling and confined workspace.

  • Pulling force: 12 kN direct, 16 kN with a capstan (1.2 / 1.6 t)
  • For short routes, confined workspace, and mobile use

KZW 20

The versatile mobile machine with a pulling force of up to 2 tons.

  • Pulling force: 20 kN (2 t)
  • For most standard applications in cable laying technology, optionally available with a crawler vehicle and a canvas cover

KZW 25 E

Up to 2.5 tons of pulling force, battery-powered, and zero-emission during operation.

  • Pulling force: 25 kN (2.5 t)
  • Battery-powered drive and winch system, particularly suitable for urban use and night work

KZW 30 / KZW 40

The class up to 4 tons of pulling force.

  • Pulling force: 30 / 40 kN (3 / 4 t)
  • For long-distance power lines, overhead line construction, and heavy-duty underground cables

REW 55

The pipe-pulling winch for combined heating and cooling pipelines and ground cables from piping systems.

  • Pulling force: 40–60 kN
  • For district heating pipelines up to 55 kN, with stepless hydraulic drive and traction data registration

Flatbed trailer

The flatbed trailer for transporting machinery, equipment, and materials to the construction site.

  • Payload of 2,800 kg with a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg
  • Vehicles drive directly onto the ramps; lashing points recessed into the floor secure the load – hot-dip galvanized steel frame, two braked axles

Which class is right for your task?

Choosing the right cable pull machine depends on more than just maximum pulling force. Other key factors include route length, terrain, rope guidance, mobility, power supply, and operational and documentation requirements.

None of these machines fit your needs? Do you have a special requirement?

Not every application fits into a standard category. When traction, design, terrain, or operating conditions present special challenges, Jost develops customized solutions.
