The winch is designed to hoist fully laden skips at a liner speed of 3.05 m/sec, and is equipped with twin 820 kW drives providing 100% redundancy, for continued operation in the event of a failure on either drive.

The work scope included removal of the existing winch originally provided by a Qualter Hall company (Needham Bros & Brown) as was the winch on the No 4 Blast Furnace, which is still in operation.
