Adriawinch / Products / Research Winches and Handling Solutions

Systems are composed of sophisticated winches and deck handling hardware: a tilting A-frames or custom designed launch and recovery cranes equipped with tools docking carriage. Systems are designed for personnel safety and gently handling of umbilical cables, instruments, underwater tools or ROVs.

Different configuration of system can be tailored :

  • A-frame handling system
  • L&R Crane handling system
  • Container mounted
  • Ready for deck mounting

 

Winches

Winches are designed for rough and demanding offshore conditions. With possibility for local and/or remote control. It can be delivered with different configurations ranging from simple control to advance system with multiple displays. Winches with sufficient capacity to accommodate the required length and diameter of umbilical, conducting cables or ropes in compliance with system requirements.

 

Winches are driven by:

  • Permanent Magnet electric motors
  • AC electric motors – pole-changing or frequency controlled
  • Axial piston or radial piston hydraulic motors

 

A-frames and L&R Cranes

Adria Winch offers A-frames and custom tailored L&R Cranes having safe load handling up to 250 kN and 8 meters outreach. Can be delivered as self-contained or self-erecting units, for stern or side outreach.
