Home » For all your heavy towing operations

Towing winches are often used on tugboats assisting container ships and other cargo ships in ports and port terminals. The pulling and braking force, in combination with the transmission, determine the application of this type of winch. The photos show our gearbox-driven towing winch. This winch type ensures that the speed of the winch is automatically adjusted to the required pulling force. The variable speed allows the winch to always run at the highest possible speed. This eliminates the need to manually choose between two or three-speed models.

Our gearbox-driven towing winch has various design options available, such as the drive (hydraulic or electric) and drum configuration (single, split, or double). We design winches entirely according to your vessel’s requirements, both standardised and custom-built.
