Rossi S.p.A., a manufacturer of gearboxes, gearmotors, and electric motors based in Modena, Italy, has introduced EP Winch, a planetary gearbox with a rotating housing designed for winch applications in the marine, construction, and mining sectors.
The rotating housing allows the gearbox to be integrated inside the winch drum, reducing the overall package size. The configuration is designed for installations where limited space constrains mechanical layout choices.
Rossi links the EP Winch development to customer-driven requirements and application-specific integration.
“With EP Winch, we are expanding our range by entering strategic sectors with a clear approach: making our know-how available to customers and studying solutions capable of better integrating into their applications and responding to their needs.”
Said Davide Ferrari, Rossi’s R&D Manager for planetary gearboxes and deputy CTO.
The gearbox is already being used in a pilot project launched in 2025 with marine-sector customers in Spain.
“Studying the new product with the customer allows us to respond accurately to their real needs and to develop EP Winch based on application realities experienced during use in the field.”
Said Stefano Cioffi, Head of Segments Marine and Construction at Rossi.
For marine applications, EP Winch has DNV Type Approval certification. The production is planned at its Lecce facility in Italy, with components sourced in Italy and Europe.
