The Lebus spooling system

Tle Lebus Spooling System is designed for any hoisting and winching application that uses multiple layers of wire rope on a drum. The geometry of Lebus grooving, coupled with our know-how, ensures that your wire rope spools smoothly onto and off the rope drum under total control - a totally dependable performance every time.

The Lebus Spooling System can be fitted to any size winch drum.

The Lebus system keeps the spooled rope in a uniformed pattern, evenly distributing the load between the individual layers of rope. This prevents lower layers being crushed or pinched by upper layers. Independent field tests have proved over the years that the Lebus system can extend rope life by more than 500%.

With the Lebus system, the continous groove in the drum is parallel to the flange (edge of drum) except for two crossover points on each revolution where the moves across the drum half a pitch to give a full pitch of movement for each revolution.

With Lebus grooving it is possible to calculate exactly the direction of the forces that the rope imposes on the drum because the spooling is totally controlled. This is not possible with any other spooling system.

  • The benefits of the Lebus Spooling System are:
  • Smooth spooling operations to improve winch performance
  • Increased safety
  • Longer rope life, meaning less money spent on replacing ropes
  • Reduced machinery downtime to replace worn ropes

Lebus has specialised in smooth spooling technology for hoisting and winching applications for more than 50 years. It has developed unmatched expertise in all aspects of wire rope winching and hoisting technology. Accept no imitations.
