An electric winch is a device powered by an electric motor and designed to handle lines or cables. There are many different types, depending on specific use. NauticExpo offers mooring winches, towing winches, double-drum winches, etc.
Electric winches are used for many different purposes: handling cables, lines, hawsers, ROV umbilicals, electrical cables, oceanographic material, etc.
The drum of an electric winch is powered by an electric motor. One or more drums hold the wound line or cable. When activated, the drum turns to take up or pay out the line.
Choice will depend primarily on the type of line or cable to be handled. This will influence power requirements, drum capacity, winch placement, etc.
