ABACUS ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS is a South Africa-based company, which provides lifting solutions for the mining industry through customised equipment to fit unique requirements and project challenges.
Standard winches, conveyors and lifting equipment for mining projects
The ABACUS ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS standard range includes power / electric winches, conveyor, take-up winches, and hand winches.
ABACUS ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS conveyor take-up winches are suitable for use on long overland and underground conveyors, as well as automatic tensioning systems. The ABACUS take-up winches are designed to handle back electromotive force (back-EMF). ABACUS take-up winches are designed to eliminate oil leak problems. ABACUS ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS focuses on uncomplicated designs that makes servicing easy and replacing parts without breaking any mechanical seals. No special tools are required with any of the ABACUS winches.
Mining projects have a high-demand for heavy-duty lifting equipment. The ABACUS hand winch range is suitable for conveyor tensioning and is robust and capable of accommodating the requirements of industrial mining environments.
The ABACUS motorised hand winch offers enhanced lifting capabilities over standard hand winches. It is easily operated by running the motor in either forward or reverse to move the load up or down.
Customised winches, winders, and shaft sinking lifting equipment
The ABACUS custom designs products to suit customer requirements. Customised products include shaft sinking equipment, stage winders, kibble winders, construction hoist, and lifts or man hoists, as well as crawl beam systems, jib cranes and sheave wheels, scraper winches, pilling winches, diesel winches and custom hand winches.
When ordering a take-up winch through ABACUS ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS, first a conveyor analysis will be done to make sure the ABACUS winch can withstand all forces involved in the conveyor application that is used. Secondly, if one of the ABACUS standard take-up winch range is not suitable, ABACUS ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS will adapt to suit the application by customising it. This process saves money over time.
ABACUS strives to deliver high-quality solutions to the marketplace through its custom designed product ranges, which all comply with ISO 9001 standards.
