Written on October 26, 2016.

Limited places available for Brevini and NFPC “Stage 2 Winch Hydraulic Systems” training course at NFPC, 7-9th November 2016.

Highly practical, this course is designed for technicians and engineers involved in the maintenance and management of winch systems involving a range of hydraulics and controls, and is ideal for company technical representatives. It is relevant to a range of sectors including: offshore and marine; fishing; dockside, and construction & crane applications.

Equipment at the NFPC training facilities

This three-day course has a range of objectives, both knowledge-based and skills-based. On completion of the course, participants will:

• Know the types of winch in common use across a range of industry applications and associated terminology;
• Be able to identify the hazard and manage risks associated with winch maintenance;
• Know the function, operation, application and control of the major components including winch construction;
• Know the principles of load sensing and associated valves, pumps, motor drive systems and motion control valves;
• Know the procedures to follow when carrying out effective installation, commissioning and fault diagnosis;
• Know the causes of failure in hydraulic systems and importance of good contamination management at all times.

During the practical sessions, participants will:

• Build hydraulic winch circuits by interpreting a hydraulic circuit diagram;
• Set up the hydraulic control valves for simple and load sensing winch systems;
• Set up the controls on a typical load sensing variable displacement pump;
• Connect the electrical interface to the hydraulic controls using manual switch and solenoids;
• Investigate hydraulic load-holding techniques.

Comments from previous participants:

• The plant I work on has different winches, from 5 to 40 tons. Now I feel more confident – good for me, my company and the client
• The trainers are very skilled, friendly and have a solid background in the hydraulic industry, combining theory with practical technical training
• Thanks to the practical element the training is very effective
• Since August I’m now routinely troubleshooting, with the experience gained on this course
