Electric Horizontal Capstans for Marine Applications
The Electric Horizontal Capstans are heavy-duty, electrically powered deck winch engineered for ships, offshore vessels, and law enforcement boats. Designed for horizontal mounting on decks, it provides reliable performance in high-tension operations such as mooring, towing, anchor handling, and emergency line retrieval. Built to withstand harsh marine environments, this capstan features a corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel or high-grade cast steel construction, ensuring durability and long-term reliability.
Certified by leading marine classification societies (IRS, LR, RINA, ABS, DNV GL), it meets international safety standards for shipboard winching systems. Its fail-safe braking system and optional hydraulic/manual clutch mechanisms enhance operational safety, while its compact design optimizes deck space without compromising load capacity.
