Modular Multi Purpose Winches
MPW Platform
New Platform: Technology makes the difference
As different as the winches of the new MPW platform may be, they share decisive common features:
- Modular design
- Compact arrangement of motor, brake and gearbox
- High level of safety (e.g. integrated disc brake)
- Wide range of options
- Clearly defined interfaces for installation and maintenance
- Low‑maintenance, service‑friendly operation

- Load capacity: 6.3 – 80 t
- FEM classification: M6 to M8+
- Integrated disc brake and double-shoe brake
- Two selectable hoisting speeds
Characteristic data:
MPW‑U – Compact Winches for Assembly Duty
MPW‑U winches are the optimal choice for assembly tasks or loading operations where installation space is limited. Compact dimensions and multiple reeving options provide maximum flexibility in confined spaces.
- Load capacity: 10 – 250 t
- FEM classification: M3 – M6
- Reeving options up to 16/2
- Small approach dimensions
Characteristic data:
MPW‑S – Tailor-Made Winches for Special Applications
MPW‑S Windwerke werden projektspezifisch berechnet und gefertigt. Sie bieten höchste Flexibilität hinsichtlich Einscherung, Seilführung und Leistungsdaten – perfekt für Sonderanwendungen.
- Load capacity: 5 – 235 t
- FEM classification: M3 – M8
- Reeving from 2/2 to 24/2
- Hoisting speeds freely selectable

Handling options at Maschinenfabrik Köppern GmbH & Co. KG
Köppern GmbH & Co. KG
A Demag ZKKW double-girder overhead crane, equipped with an MPW type winch and a DMR wire rope hoist as an auxiliary hoist, offers Köppern a combination of reliable mechanics and precise technology. The frequency converters enable dynamic response with high precision and efficiency when operating the crane. As a result, the cranes ensure gentle material handling and a reduction in load sway through smooth acceleration and deceleration.
