Marine Capstan
A marine capstan is a kind of small winch used on the deck or shore for anchoring and mooring, lifting heavy loads, or performing other pulling purposes. All marine capstans are available with electric or hydraulic drive.
Electric capstans: The electric capstans can be incorporated directly into the deck construction using a foundation pipe piece. The foundation is open at the bottom and makes it easy to connect the motor from below deck. The electric capstans are delivered with a frequency converter for variable speed.
Hydraulic capstans: Hydraulic capstans are designed with internal drive systems to save space onboard the vessel.
