A marine diesel engine windlass refers to a type of windlass powered by a diesel engine and is used for engaging and lowering the anchors with the anchor chain. Diesel engine driven type anchor windlass is mainly used for big capacity anchor windlass or boats lacking electric power,  and also to make anchor windlass driven type more variously. the diesel engine-driven anchor windlass is different from normal driven types like hydraulic or electric motor, with its big power, steady structure and good condition overcome bad sea weather make it very special. It is commonly found on larger vessels where the power demands are greater and where diesel engines are already used for propulsion or auxiliary power. Windlass diesel engine brands can be as per customer requirement, any type of engine-driven anchor windlasses can be customized.

Overall, diesel engine windlasses are an essential component of many marine vessels, providing the power and reliability needed for efficient operation at sea.
