Performance and types of marine winches

<p><a href="https://www.snowavesproducts.com/marine-winch" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marine winch</a> is light and small hoisting equipment that use drums to wind steel ropes or chains to lift or tow heavy objects. The winch can be used alone or as a component of mechanical equipment such as hoisting, road construction and mine hoisting. It is widely used because of its simple actual operation, large amount of rope winding and convenient displacement. The product has high practicability, compact structure, small size, light weight, heavy lifting, and convenient use and transfer. It is used in the take-off and landing of shipbuilding machinery and equipment or flat towing.</p><p><br></p><p>There are two types of winches: manual and electric. Manual winch The transmission mechanism of the handle rotation of the manual winch is equipped with a stopper (ratchet wheel and pawl) to keep the heavy object in the required area. The manual winch used for assembling or lifting heavy objects should also be equipped with safety handles and braking devices, which are usually used in areas with small load capacity, poor supporting facilities, or no power supply. Electric winches are generally suitable for sites with heavy workloads and greater traction.</p><p><br></p><p>Marine winches include marine pneumatic gangway winches, marine ladder winches, marine hand-cranked winches, marine steel rope winches, marine explosion-proof double drum winches, etc.</p>
