Amcon Winches & Hoists

The AMCON line of Winches and Hoists are heavy duty air-controlled winches engineered for lifting and anchoring applications under a variety of operating conditions. For years, Conmaco provided offshore customers with mooring system expertise and hoists we could match for their job, however, as needs changed it became harder to find a "mass production" hoist that allowed for the much needed customizing that the market demanded. The AMCON Hoist is a heavy-duty, air-controlled hoist which is engineered for heavy lift, anchoring and derrick applications.  The standard models are available in double or triple drum waterfall configurations. Machines can also be ordered in single drum or four drum arrangements. An engine driven air compressor, air tank, stand up local control console and diesel fuel tank are furnished as standard equipment. AMCON hoists are just one example of how Conmaco and AmCLyde combine over 180 years of experience in the engineering and manufacturing of a complete line of quality construction equipment.
