Develop your knowledge of Winch Hydraulics with Brevini UK

This three-day course has a range of objectives, both knowledge-based and skills-based. On completion of the course, participants will:

- Know the types of winch in common use across a range of industry applications and associated terminology;
- Be able to identify the hazard and manage risks associated with winch maintenance;
- Know the function, operation, application and control of the major components including winch construction;
- Know the principles of load sensing and associated valves, pumps, motor drive systems and motion control valves;
- Know the procedures to follow when carrying out effective installation, commissioning and fault diagnosis;
- Know the causes of failure in hydraulic systems and importance of good contamination management at all times.

During the practical sessions, participants will:

- Build hydraulic winch circuits by interpreting a hydraulic circuit diagram;
- Set up the hydraulic control valves for simple and load sensing winch systems;
- Set up the controls on a typical load sensing variable displacement pump;
- Connect the electrical interface to the hydraulic controls using manual switch and solenoids;
- Investigate hydraulic load-holding techniques.

Comments from pervious participants:

- The plant I work on has different winches, from 5 to 40 tons. Now I feel more confident - good for me, my company and the client
- The trainers are very skilled, friendly and have a solid background in the hydraulic industry, combining theory with practical technical training
- Thanks to the practical element the training is very effective
- Since August I’m now routinely troubleshooting, with the experience gained on this course
