Classification of marine winches

Aug 30, 2021

Marine winches can be divided into four types according to their driving methods: manual winches, electric winches, pneumatic winches, and hydraulic winches.

According to the purpose, it can be divided into marine and land use.

The working voltage of electric winch: 380V, 220V, 110V are high voltage. 36V, 24V, 12V are low voltage (12V is direct current. 220V is alternating current) electric winches are the most common winches. Relying on the vehicle's own electric system to drive the winch, advantages: it can be used normally when the vehicle is dead fire (this is its biggest advantage, which is unmatched by other winches), especially for watery areas, it has a great advantage, and the installation is simple. Realize multi-position installation and rapid displacement. Disadvantages: Can not maintain long-term use (the limitation of the vehicle's own electric system, self-heating, etc.), most electric winches can provide small driving force, and can only apply force in one direction (installed in the front of the car can only Pull forward, install on the rear can only be pulled back).

Hydraulic winches are divided into medium and low pressure (for bulk carriers with a pressure of 50-70kg), medium pressure (pressure greater than 70kg), and high pressure (pressure greater than 150kg) according to the pressure. The advantage is large power and stable operation.

Marine winches are divided into vertical, horizontal and inverted types according to the installation situation.
