Winches

Experience in designing and manufacturing winches have become one of our main specializations. Winches are available in standard and customized versions. The standard winches have a line pull of between 25 and 1,000 kN, the customized winches anything between 1 and 3,000 kN IHC Hytop can supply any winch you need!

  • Bow-coupling winches with low-noise variable displacement motor for switching between high speed (low torque) and high torque (low speed) (fig.2).
  • Anchor winches with handbrake, drumclutch and capstan head (fig.3).
  • Pontoon hauling winches, direct driven by high torque/radial piston motor with fail-safe caliper brakes, storage drum and PLC-controlled constant tension powering. The drum features the Lebus grooving (fig.4).
