A marine winch is a mechanical device installed on the deck of a ship. It winds cables or anchor chains around a drum to complete operations such as anchoring, mooring, towing, cargo loading and unloading. Its design needs to adapt to the high salt spray, high humidity and complex working conditions of the marine environment. It usually consists of a power system (electric/hydraulic/manual), a drum, a gearbox, a brake device and a base. According to its function, it can be divided into anchor winch, mooring winch, towing winch, cargo winch and other types
Typical application scenarios
- Merchant ships/cargo ships: fast mooring, container loading and unloading.
- Fishing boats: trawling, fish lifting.
- Rescue tugboats: emergency towing, salvaging sunken ships.
