Payout

The winch encoder is fitted onto a line drum, and counts the turning revolutions of the drum as it reels in or out line. The signal from the encoder is then sent to the transducer, which wirelessly transmits a signal to a central display panel. Cranesmart LMI systems are now available with winch run time/payout tracking.  The system monitors winch run time and provides a user settable notification as the maximum is approached and exceeded. This transducer will provide dual functionality within the panel with no additional install requirements. Schedule winch re-builds and certifications based on accurate run time: Improve winch reliability, avoid unnecessary winch down time, improve safe winch operation and monitor winch payout.
