Gate Hoist Winches

Gate Hoist/Sluice Winch

Gate hoists, sluice winches, and spillway winches are specialized lifting systems used for controlling water flow in hydropower plants, dams, reservoirs, irrigation systems, and flood control projects. These winches are designed to raise and lower sluice gates, spillway gates, and dam gates to regulate water levels and discharge efficiently.

Screw Hoist | Screw Gate Hoist – Structure, Features & Applications

A screw hoist (screw gate hoist) is a manual or electric lifting device used to control sluice gates in water management systems. It operates through a lead screw mechanism, converting rotary motion into linear motion to raise or lower gates with high precision.

Structural Features:

  • Lead Screw Mechanism – Provides smooth and controlled gate movement.
  • Manual or Motorized Operation – Available in handwheel, electric, or hydraulic drive.
  • Compact & Durable Design – Resistant to corrosion, water exposure, and harsh environments.
  • High Load Capacity – Handles light to heavy-duty sluice gates.

Applications:

  • Dams & Reservoirs – Regulates water levels and flow.
  • Irrigation Systems – Controls water distribution for agriculture.
  • Water Treatment Plants – Manages intake and discharge.
  • Flood Control Projects – Prevents overflow and safeguards infrastructure.
