Description
Yale RPE Versatile Compact Electric Winch
The Yale RPE Compact Electric Winch is a versatile, heavy-duty wire rope winch engineered for safe, reliable lifting, pulling, and positioning of loads across a wide range of industrial environments. Combining a compact footprint with advanced safety features and robust German engineering, the RPE delivers dependable performance where space is limited and precision is essential.
Available in Working Load Limits (WLL) from 250kg to 2,000kg, the Yale RPE range is suitable for everything from light-duty material handling to medium-duty industrial lifting. Its compact cube design and universal rope lead-off arrangement allow installation in virtually any orientation, making it an ideal solution for machinery, workshops, production lines, maintenance operations, and bespoke lifting systems.
Designed to DIN 15020, classified 1 Bm/M3, and manufactured in accordance with the EC Machinery Directive, every Yale RPE winch is factory overload tested and supplied with a test certificate, manufacturer declaration, and comprehensive operating manual.
Compact Design for Flexible Installation
The Yale RPE has been developed to maximise installation flexibility without compromising lifting performance.
Its compact cube construction enables mounting in confined spaces while allowing multiple rope lead-off positions to suit individual applications. Grease-lubricated gearing allows the winch to operate in virtually any installation orientation, making it ideal for bespoke lifting systems and restricted-access environments.
Whether installed horizontally, vertically, or at an angle, the RPE provides smooth, dependable operation with minimal maintenance requirements.
Reliable Braking and Precision Control
Operator safety is at the heart of the Yale RPE design. Each winch incorporates a spring-applied disc brake integrated into the motor, automatically holding suspended loads securely—even in the event of power failure. This fail-safe braking system provides confidence during lifting and positioning operations where load security is critical.
Depending on the model, the RPE is available with either standard voltage controls or 42V low-voltage pendant controls, complete with emergency stop functionality and a 2-metre control cable for enhanced operator protection.
Smooth, Quiet and Efficient Performance
The RPE utilises a precision-engineered spur gearbox with a helical first gear, ensuring exceptionally smooth and quiet operation while reducing gear wear and extending service life.
The specially designed rope drum incorporates a plain rope recess that supports controlled multi-layer rope winding, helping to minimise rope wear and maintain consistent winding performance throughout the drum capacity.
For additional protection, selected models include an adjustable slip clutch, safeguarding both the winch and the load during overload conditions.
Adaptable to Your Application
The Yale RPE range can be configured to suit a variety of lifting and pulling requirements.
Available options include:
- Working Load Limits from 250kg to 2 tonnes
- Multiple drum lengths (L, XL, LR and XLR)
