Dredger Hydraulic winches Hoisting

Winches are critical in dredging operations as they provide the necessary pulling force to move dredging equipment and materials. To withstand the harsh marine conditions, heavy-duty electric or hydraulic winches are typically used and are mounted on the dredging vessel. They allow for the control of the positioning and movement of dredging equipment such as suction tubes, cutter heads, and spud poles. Proper maintenance and monitoring of winches are crucial for safe and efficient dredging operations.

Side winches, which are mounted on the sides of dredging vessels, are used to control the position and movement of suction or cutter heads by adjusting the length and tension of cables or wires. They are an essential component of various dredging vessels, including cutter suction dredgers and trailing suction hopper dredgers.

We provide standard winches up to 120 kN for side wire and hoisting purposes to ensure efficient dredging operations. In addition, we offer fast delivery for boom winches.
