---A reliable solution for high humidity, salt spray, and heavy-duty cycles
May 25, 2026 – A major ship repair yard in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has successfully deployed the ALLMAN AMWS electric winch to overcome persistent motor failure and overheating issues in harsh marine conditions. The winch, featuring a WEG motor, IP55 protection, and M5 duty class, has operated for eight months without a single breakdown.
The Challenge
The shipyard, specializing in deck machinery repairs and cargo hold equipment replacements, faced two critical problems:
Frequent motor failure due to high humidity and salt spray; ordinary winches with IP44 protection would short-circuit every three months.
Overheating during prolonged lifts – repair jobs often require continuous operation exceeding two hours, but standard motors would trip after only 30 minutes.
Additionally, the yard needed a winch capable of lifting up to 1.5 tons safely and reliably in confined, poorly ventilated compartments.
The Solution
After evaluating the site conditions, ALLMAN INDUSTRY recommended the AMWS series electric winch (1.5-ton model), which offers:
WEG motor – a well-known Brazilian brand delivers 30% higher starting torque than conventional motors, providing smooth, powerful lifting even under full load.
IP55 rating – fully sealed motor housing resists water splashes, salt spray, and dust, making it ideal for shipboard and coastal environments.
M5 duty class – designed for continuous operation; the integrated cooling fan ensures the motor stays within safe temperature limits even after hours of non‑stop use.
The Results
1.Zero motor failures in eight months of daily use, eliminating previous maintenance costs.
2.50% faster job completion – a typical four‑hour equipment replacement is now finished in 2.5 hours.
3.No overheating shutdowns – the winch runs smoothly for full work shifts, keeping the project on schedule.
Customer Feedback
“The AMWS is the most reliable electric winch we have ever used. The WEG motor is powerful yet quiet, and the IP55 enclosure works perfectly even next to wet bulkheads. I highly recommend it to any marine customer.”
— Carlos Alberto, Equipment Manager, Rio de Janeiro Shipyard
