The Lebus spooling system is based on the unique geometry of the drum grooving, custom engineered to the specific application.

A Lebus sleeve is placed onto a winch drum.

New sleeves can also be retrofitted onto old winch drums to give them a new life.

The Lebus system ensures that wire rope constantly travels onto and off the drum without any mis-spooling, creating a uniform pattern every time.

Only with Lebus drums is it possible to calculate with absolute certainty the forces exerted by the rope on the drum. This is because the spooling is totally controlled.
