Applications include crane, winching and hoisting systems, material handling equipment and mobile plant.

The Comer range is divided into 21 basic groups, based on the different torques that are to be transmitted to the output shaft - which can vary from 0.5 to 65 kNm.
The Planetary Drives modular construction permits the coupling of bevel gears, worm gears, hydraulic brakes and a variety of input shafts to the planetary units, as well as providing for a choice of coupling flanges for hydraulic, air and electric motors.
Various stages, in different sizes, can be mounted to offer a wide range of reduction ratios - ranging from 3:1 to 7:1 on single-stage drives up to 10,000:1 and more on 5-stage drives.
The wide selection of output shafts and flanges simplifies the reduction unit mounting operation on industrial machinery or plants.
