Winch for Securing Boats to Docks
In the realm of marine equipment, the Mooring Winch (MW) stands out as a versatile and portable solution, designed for any deployment. This general-purpose winch, equipped with a PLC controlled in-line levelwind capable of variable speeds for spooling cable of various diameters, is an essential tool for handling heavy loads in marine environments.
The MW is a single drum, direct pull type unit driven by a right-angle helical bevel gearbox and TENV electric motor. It requires a single point power connection for installation, making it a convenient choice for various marine applications.
For those interested in the specifications of the Mooring Winch, detailed information can be found in the provided MW Specifications and MW Maximum Capacity Document. The MW General Arrangement Drawing is also available for a visual understanding of the winch's design.
The winch is controlled from a control console mounted on the winch, with a wired remote belly pack also supplied for added convenience. Dynamic braking is achieved through the variable frequency drive and braking resistor.
Safety is a top priority with the Mooring Winch. It features a failsafe brake that is a parking brake only and should not be used for dynamic braking. The winch skid integrates the electrical controls panel and braking resistor, ensuring all components are housed securely.
The Mooring Winch is particularly suited to deployment/recovery of moorings and instrument strings. It fits the UNOLS standard 2'x2' bolt pattern and has lift points for equal length slings and fork pockets, making it easily transportable and adaptable to various marine platforms.
