Winches & Cranes for Water & Wastewater Plants
Maintenance of a water or wastewater plant can be labor intensive, especially without the right equipment. Placing pumps and mixers (and lifting them out of tanks for maintenance), pulling sludge carts, positioning screens or UV panels, and many other tasks would take a lot of time and effort. Thern’s collection of winches and davit cranes can make these operations more efficient and easier to control.

Water / Wastewater FAQs
What information do you need to determine the proper electric winch for my application?
Please answer these questions, so we can help you determine the right electric winch for your business: How many aerators are on the winching line, and what direction are they thrusting? What is the thrust force of the aerator?
Can the electric winch move the aerator/dredge in only one direction?
When properly equipped, the power electric winch can move the aerator/dredge in one or both directions.
Can an electric winch move the bar screen in only one direction?
When properly equipped, an electric winch can move the bar screen in one or both directions.
Is the weight of the dumpster cart calculated when it is empty or full?
The maximum weight of the dumpster cart when it is completely full ensures that the electric winch is sized correctly.
Can an electric winch move the dumpster cart in only one direction?
When properly equipped, the power electric winch can move the dumpster cart in one or both directions.
Why is an epoxy finish beneficial on either larger davit cranes or electric winches?
An epoxy finish is recommended for davit cranes and electric winches over a standard enamel finish as it provides superior corrosion resistance in the harsh atmospheres common in water/wastewater applications.
Do I need a cable spool and a wire rope keeper?
Typically, both items do not need to be used at the same time. The cable spool is typically used in mixer maintenance applications, and the wire rope keeper is used in all other applications.
I am responsible for operations at a port that handles a significant amount of inbound and outbound freight. Does Thern offer stainless steel winches and davit cranes that will stand up against the harsh salt air?
Thern offers stainless steel hand winches and also offers cranes in either type 304 or 316. Should you need a motorized electric winch or larger davit crane, Thern offers an epoxy finish that provides excellent protection against the most corrosive environments.
