Mooring Winch is a light and small lifting equipment (see lifting machinery) that uses a drum to wind a steel wire rope or chain to lift or tow heavy objects, also known as a winch. Winches can be used alone or as components in machinery such as lifting, road construction, and mine hoisting. They are widely used due to their simple operation, large rope winding capacity, and convenient relocation. The winch is also known as a winch. This product has high universality, compact structure, small size, light weight, heavy lifting capacity, and convenient use and transfer. It is applied to the lifting or towing of ship equipment. There are two types of winches: manual and electric. The transmission mechanism of the handle rotation of the manual winch is equipped with a stopper (ratchet and pawl), which can keep the weight in the desired position. Manual winches used for assembling or lifting heavy objects should also be equipped with handles and brakes. Manual winches are generally used in places with low lifting capacity, poor facility conditions, or no power supply. Electric winches are widely used in places with heavy workload and high traction requirements. The electric motor of a single drum electric winch drives the drum through a reducer, and a brake is installed between the electric motor and the input shaft of the reducer. To meet the needs of lifting, traction, and rotation operations, there are also winches with dual and multi drum devices.
