Our winches for inland shipping have electric motors applicable for outdoor installations. Moreover they are equipped according to IP 56, that is to say storm and seawater proof. The engines have no fan, which is why they are less likely to get stuck with frost in winter. They also make less noise. All motors are reversible, so hauling and lowering of chain and wire are possible. Most of the times an electric/hydraulic version is preferred as it satisfies 95 percent of our customers.
The
hydraulic part is built into the gearbox. This gives the following
advantages: there is no hydraulic piping on deck and any oil leak
will take place in the gearbox, which is important for the
environment. The speed of the winch is continuously adjustable, so
that working with threads in particular is smoother. The winch slips
automatically when overloaded as does the anchor in the hawsepipe.
Couplings:
high-standard
All
winches are equipped with a claw coupling with a square bore. The
advantages speak for themselves. Blocking of the coupling on the
shaft is excluded, tilting or jamming of the wedge is impossible.
There is no wear of the friction material. Adjustment is not
necessary. Oil or ice on the friction material is not possible.
We
work with high-quality materials, which is why the dimensions and
weights in relation to the pulling force are less than those of
similar suppliers. This eliminates unnecessary weight of anchors,
chains and winches which would otherwise result in unnecessarily high
fuel-costs over the years.
Service and warranty: always close at hand
All brakes on our winches are fitted with high-quality asbestos free brake linings, even for the iron/steel chain wheels. All non white parts are blasted to SA 2.5 and treated with a primer and a maritime paint system.
Our winches can be welded directly on to the deck without foundation. This reduces difficult-to-clean parts of the deck to a minimum. As we develop and manufacture all our own products, service and warranty are always close to hand.
We can also supply chains and anchors, so that they always match. We deliver anchors and chains from various manufacturers. They can be provided with a certificate from any classification society.
