Power Units: Eagle Hoist & Winch Company© Electric Power Units are fabricated from high-quality, American-made steel and are manufactured using top of the line components. All new Eagle hoists & winches come with a warranty on parts and service.

Eagle Hoist & Winch Company© will manufacture a power unit that will give you the line pull and line speed required by your application. Working with a team of hydraulic and electrical engineers, Eagle Hoist & Winch Company© has developed a compact, durable modular power pack system which is able, when necessary, to be located away from the Operator, easy to access for service and has attractive styling.

The power unit incorporates the motor and fluid reservoir (the size of each being determined by the requirements of the application), pump, tank heater, oil cooler and motor starter box with the disconnect box mounted on the outside of the module. The module is completely enclosed with breather panels in two sides for ventilation.

The power unit will easily attach to the hoist or winch. We engineer our power units to be safe and efficient. The unique design allows for easy connection and disconnection of the power unit from the hoist or winch.

Provide us with the parameters of your application and we will design a system that will do the job safely, reliably and economically. We will make every effort to work within your budget to engineer a system that will save you and your company time and money. Call us today for a quote. We appreciate your time and thank you for visiting the E & K Equipment, Inc. / Eagle Hoist & Winch Company© web site. We look forward to speaking with you soon.

Eagle Products
Eagle Hoist & Winch Company© manufactures new hoists, winches as well as power units for existing machines. We specialize in hydraulic power conversions from diesel & gas for existing hoists and winches, but our versatility, innovation and ability to solve problems allows us to solve even the trickiest power problems for our Customers.: M.P.B.S. (Multi-Point Braking System)
     We have designed an optional braking system for critical load-holding applications that we believe to be far superior to any available. Our optional M.P.B.S. incorporates two independent disc brakes. Both are located at the drum flanges where they work as closely to the load as possible. The first is a spring-applied caliper which is hydraulically released and acts as an emergency fail-safe should a loss of electrical power or hydraulic pressure occur.
     Secondly, the hoist integrates another disc brake, located on the opposing side of the drum from the first brake. The brake is manually activated by a foot pedal and is used for service positioning. Both the first and second brake are capable of 150% of the load rating for both stopping and holding. Our M.P.B.S. system also functions as a safety brake.
     The third brake system consists of two sealed hoist brakes, independently mounted on each side of the drum which act, in unison as well as independently, as a fail-safe and a parking brake. These are spring-applied and hydraulically released. They are controlled by a push-button on the joystick.
     On the luffing drum we install a spring-applied disc brake which acts as a fail-safe and service brake which is Operator controlled by a foot pedal. There is a spring-applied, hydraulically-released brake between the motor and the running gear which functions as a parking brake, also. This brake is Operator controlled by a push-button on the joystick and will engage in the event of a loss of electrical power or hydraulic pressure.
     This Multi-Point Braking System was designed to offer our Customers the highest degree of safety available in the industry.; Gear Reduction for High-Abrasive Environments
     Gear reduction for high-abrasive environment units may be provided by utilizing an optional two planetary gear reduction drives, which are installed inside the load drum, and one gear reduction drive unit inside the luffing drum complete with a matching gear reduction case and bearing opposite for uniformity. By using this drive system, all moving gear parts and bearings are sealed to make the system less exposed to the influences of the elements and the environment. This greatly extends the life of the system while lowering maintenance costs and down-time for your company.

Position Controller
      An optional electrictonic position controller is available on Eagle hoists & winches for remote Operator applications. It is internally driven from hydraulic motors at the point at which they drive the drum. An optional touch screen may be mounted to the control center which exchanges common information between the Operator and the hoist. The control unit is redundant as a fail-safe for any necessary overspeed / overwind situations as well as for height and depth control and emergency stopping. This control unit provides minimal graphics which offer a visual simulation of work in progress for the Operator, should it be desired. The touch screen allows the Operator to continually reset the operating range with little effort and without leaving the command center; a safety practice which is sometimes disregarded with other systems.

Operator Controls
     The Operator controls the hoist from an ergonomically designed seat. Our unit integrates a limit switch to insure that the Operator remains at the unit controls at all times. For applications requiring electric drives, the electric motor is started and stopped from the Operator's chair and an emergency stop is also included. As an option an adjustable chair with integrated controllers as well as pedals may me installed.
