Thern Winches & Cranes
Reach New Heights in Defense and Government.

When reliable load handling is essential to critical operations, government agencies around the world turn to Thern. Whether at airfields lifting hatches off jets or on communications towers hoisting maintenance equipment, even on submarines, Thern winches and cranes are designed to meet the most demanding specifications and perform dependably in challenging environments.

NASA used Thern air winches positioned in a hazardous environment to raise and lower computer modules for the NEWX-33 shuttle engine at Stennis Space Center. Kennedy Space Center used two heavy-duty power winches working in tandem to raise and lower ET/Orbiter access platforms on shuttle launch pads.

Scaled Composites uses Thern davit cranes to efficiently retrieve aircraft drop materials they were testing. And our power winches can be found opening and closing the end of fabric structures used as hangers in military and defense applications.
