Basic Knowledge Of Marine Winches

The winch is also known as the hoist. The product has high versatility, compact structure, small size, light weight, heavy lifting, and convenient use and transfer. It is used for lifting or flat towing of marine equipment.

There are two types of winches, manual and electric. The transmission mechanism of the handle rotation of the manual winch is equipped with a stopper (ratchet wheel and pawl), which can keep the heavy object in the required position. The manual winch used for assembling or lifting heavy objects should also be equipped with safety handles and brakes. Manual winches are generally used in places where the lifting capacity is small, the facilities are poor, or where there is no power supply.

Electric winches are widely used in places with heavy work and large traction requirements. The electric motor of the single-drum electric winch drives the drum through the reducer, and a brake is installed between the electric motor and the input shaft of the reducer. In order to meet the needs of lifting, traction and rotation, there are also double-drum and multi-drum winches.
