Green Energy Winches
Australian Certified Winches designs and manufactures custom green energy winches for pumped-hydro, dam and renewable-energy infrastructure — from 140 kN pontoon mooring systems to 50 kN electric hoisting winches, engineered to AS1418 in Yatala, QLD.
Why Renewable & Pumped-Hydro Projects Demand Specialised Winches
Engineered for Safety and Continuous Productivity
Pumped-hydro, dam and renewable projects face infrastructure-scale loads standard winches can’t handle — heavy pontoon mooring and gate hoisting in exposed, water-side environments that demand certified green energy winches.
Safety is Non-Negotiable
Green energy winches handle heavy mooring and hoisting where failure risks people and plant. Our systems include fail-safe braking and redundancy for critical duty.
Built for Demanding Environments
Dam and pumped-hydro sites are exposed and water-side. We build high-capacity green energy winches engineered for long service in wet, demanding conditions.
Full Regulatory Compliance
Project compliance is strict. Our green energy winches are engineered to AS1418 with full certification and documentation delivered with every system.
Comprehensive Green Energy Winch Systems
Engineered for Safety and Continuous Productivity
Green energy winches are crucial for pontoon mooring and gate hoisting on pumped-hydro, dam and renewable projects. They enhance safety by meeting Australian standards and improve operational efficiency. Below are the green energy winch types we build

Green Energy Winch Projects
Engineered for Safety and Continuous Productivity
From 140 kN electric pontoon mooring winches for a pumped-hydro dam to 50 kN construction hoists, pontoon hauling winches and positioning capstans, these projects show how we engineer, build and certify green energy winches for exposed, infrastructure-scale sites. Every unit was designed by our RPEQ engineers and load-tested in Yatala, QLD before delivery.

Why Green Energy Winches Can't Be One-Size-Fits-All
Engineered for Safety and Continuous Productivity
Every Load Scenario is Different
A pontoon mooring winch operates completely differently from a gate hoisting winch. Load profiles, duty cycles, exposure and project specifications are unique to each pumped-hydro, dam and renewable site.
- Pontoon mooring: High holding loads and constant tension on water
- Gate & screen hoisting: Controlled lifting with planetary gearboxes
- Heavy hauling: High-torque hydraulic movement of large components
- Positioning: Low-speed controlled handling and cable work
Variables That Require Customisation
Capacity and infrastructure scale
Project scale sets the required capacity, drum and motor sizing.
Water-side exposure
Exposed, wet sites require corrosion-resistant finishes and sealing.
Gate/screen vs mooring duty
Each duty needs different speeds, gearboxes, tension and braking.
Project compliance
Hazardous atmospheres require pneumatic systems; humidity requires stainless steel and special coatings
Drive type (electric vs hydraulic)
Available power and capacity dictate electric or hydraulic drive.
Green Energy Winch FAQs: Common Questions Answered
Engineered for Safety and Continuous Productivity
COMPLIANCE & STANDARDS
Are your green energy winches certified?
Yes — built to AS1418 with full certification and documentation supplied with every system.
Can you build to a project specification?
Yes — every winch is custom engineered to your project’s load, duty and engineering spec.
How often do they need inspection?
Annual inspection is standard; inspection and testing protocols are included in your documentation.
CAPACITY & PERFORMANCE
What's the range of capacities you can provide?
From 10 kN positioning winches up to 140 kN pontoon mooring and heavy hauling; custom designs for any project.
How fast are these winches?
Speeds are matched to the duty and customisable within safety limits, with variable-speed control available.
Electric or hydraulic drive?
Both — electric for hoisting and positioning, hydraulic for heavy hauling, to suit the project.
CUSTOMISATION & LEAD TIME
How long does a custom winch take to build?
Typically 8–12 weeks from order to delivery, with expedited options for urgent projects depending on complexity.
Can you modify existing winches?
Yes — we offer retrofit upgrades, capacity increases and modernisation of older equipment of any make.
Do you offer standard (non-custom) winches?
We specialise in custom engineering; we can also source quality units and back them with our support.
SUPPORT & MAINTENANCE
What support do you provide after installation?
Installation advice, commissioning support, maintenance scheduling and ongoing technical support.
Do you stock spare parts?
Yes — critical spares are stocked and custom components can be manufactured quickly.
Can you service winches from other manufacturers?
Yes — we repair and maintain winches regardless of make, with fabrication and machining available.
SAFETY & COMPLIANCE
Have you supplied dam or pumped-hydro projects?
Yes — including 140 kN pontoon mooring systems and 50 kN electric hoisting winches for major projects.
How does the braking work?
Fail-safe spring-applied brakes hold the load automatically on power or hydraulic loss.
