DJI Winch System Kit for DJI FlyCart 30
The DJI Winch System Kit for FlyCart 30 is a purpose-built payload delivery module designed for the DJI FlyCart 30 drone platform. By integrating a winch mechanism, cable, and associated hardware, this kit enables the FlyCart 30 to hover above a drop zone and lower a load gently to the ground—rather than landing entirely. This capability opens up new operational possibilities in environments where landing is risky, impractical or unsafe (for example when bystanders are present, terrain is uneven, or sensitive assets must be protected). The kit adds versatility to the FlyCart 30’s standard cargo box configuration, enabling dynamic delivery, optional emergency cutting, and swing-stabilized load descent.
Beyond simply lowering payloads, DJI Winch System Kit enhances mission precision by giving operators fine-tuned control over descent speed, release height, and cable tension. This makes it ideal for operations where accuracy is critical—such as delivering medical supplies, tools, or equipment to tight or obstructed locations. The system’s integrated sensors and intelligent control algorithms help minimize sway, ensuring that even lighter or irregularly shaped payloads remain stable throughout the descent.
The DJI Winch System Kit is also engineered for reliability in demanding field environments. Built to withstand wind, dust, and varied temperatures, the winch system maintains consistent performance during high-intensity logistical missions. Its emergency cut feature adds a vital safety layer, ensuring the drone can detach from a payload instantly if it gets entangled or creates a hazard. By combining controlled delivery, intelligent safety functions, and rugged construction, the Winch System Kit significantly elevates the FlyCart 30’s capability in real-world aerial logistics.
Precision Delivery in Demanding Environments
Aerial Logistics Designed for the Real World
The DJI FlyCart 30 Winch System transforms the drone into a fully capable aerial delivery platform, built for environments where landing is impossible or unsafe. The images showcase how the system excels over open water and industrial settings—providing controlled, reliable cargo movement from air to ship without human contact.
Secure Payload Lowering Over Water
Hovering steadily above a moving vessel, the FlyCart 30 uses its stabilized winch mechanism to lower packages with exceptional accuracy. The 20-meter cable extends smoothly, keeping the drone safely above deck structures, railings, and cargo loads. This eliminates the need for manned transfer boats or risky dockside maneuvers.
Engineered for Maritime Operations
Ships rarely provide clear, stable landing areas. DJI Winch System Kit overcomes this limitation by enabling aerial drop-offs from a safe altitude. The drone positions itself using onboard sensors and camera guidance, maintaining a steady lock on the ship—even in windy coastal conditions.
The images highlight precise delivery onto confined deck spaces, showing how the package is lowered gently, secured by a durable hook system designed to handle varying payload shapes and weights.
Live Precision Control From the Pilot’s View
Operators have full situational awareness through the DJI Pilot 2 interface shown in the images. Real-time video, drop-point overlays, and distance indicators allow pilots to observe the vessel’s movement, adjust position, and control the winch with centimeter-level accuracy. This ensures that every package reaches the intended spot safely—even when the ship is shifting or the water conditions change.
Stability Through Intelligent Swing Control
As shown in the close-up winch shot, the system features intelligent swing suppression, actively reducing oscillations as the package descends. This is especially critical over water, where wind gusts or vessel motion can destabilize a standard suspended load. The FlyCart 30 keeps the payload centered and secure until it touches down smoothly on the ship’s deck.
Safe, Contactless, and Efficient Resupply
The final images capture the winch completing a safe delivery to a working cargo vessel. By keeping the drone airborne, the winch system eliminates human risk, speeds up supply chain operations, and allows deliveries that would otherwise require docking or manual handling.
This capability is invaluable for:
Marine logistics
Offshore resupply
Port operations
Industrial transport
Time-sensitive deliveries
Payload & Performance
Payload capacity depends on the battery configuration: in single-battery mode up to ~88.2 lb (≈40 kg), and in dual-battery mode up to ~66 lb (≈30 kg). The winch allows up to 20 m (65.6 ft) of cable descent, with a retraction (pull-in) speed of up to 0.8 m/s (2.6 ft/s).
Environmental & Physical Characteristics
DJI Winch System Kit has an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance—meaning it is protected from moderate dust ingress and low pressure water jets. It operates in a temperature range of –20 °C to +45 °C (–4 °F to 113 °F). The physical size of the winch (body) is approximately 252 × 195 × 193 mm (9.9″ × 7.7″ × 7.6″). The winch body weighs ~2.5 kg (5.5 lb) without clamp and coupling; the clamp is ~0.6 kg (1.3 lb) and the coupling ~1.9 lb (0.9 kg) per spec.
With its strong payload performance, precise delivery control, and rugged, weather-resistant design, the DJI Winch System Kit ensures reliable, accurate, and safe aerial deliveries across a wide range of real-world environments and mission demands.
Use Cases
Remote Terrain Supply Delivery
In mountainous, forested, or otherwise inaccessible terrain (e.g., disaster relief zones, remote research outposts), landing a heavy drone is difficult or dangerous. Using the winch, the drone can hover above a safe clearing and lower the payload to the ground while avoiding landing-zone obstacles.
Urban or Crowd-Sensitive Deliveries
In urban settings where landing might interfere with bystanders, pedestrian traffic or other obstacles, the winch provides a way to deliver supplies by hovering above a safe drop point and lowering the cargo—minimizing the footprint of the delivery and improving safety for nearby people.
Emergency or Time-Sensitive Logistics
When rapid response is required (e.g., delivering first-aid kits, medicines, defibrillators or other vital equipment), landing may take extra time or require a clear zone. DJI Winch System Kit allows immediate lowering of the critical cargo while the drone stays in the air, saving time.
Construction & Infrastructure Support
For jobs on rooftops, towers or elevated platforms where safe landing may be constrained, the winch allows lowering tools from the drone to a crew working below or on scaffold. This is useful for offshore platforms, where landing is not possible.
Mining & Oil/Gas Site Logistics
In large industrial sites with heavy equipment and safety-zones, landing may require shutting down operations or clearing the area. The hover-and-lower method allows deliveries to isolated zones without full landing, minimizing disruption.
Wildlife & Environmental Monitoring Support
In conservation or scientific settings, the winch can deliver supplies or equipment (traps, sensors, sample kits) without landing and potentially disturbing sensitive habitat. The lowering cable keeps the drone at altitude, reducing ground disruption.
