According to the power mode, marine winch can be divided into marine electric winch, marine hydraulic winch, diesel powered winch, air winch and marine hand winch, which can be customized with clients’ demands and requirements.
Different power modes have their own characteristics and advantages, for example, electric winch is relatively convenient and cheap compared with hydraulic one, and hydraulic drive windlass proves more powerful and efficient especially on heavy-duty boats.
The hand winch is easier to carry and is usually applied to light weight operations and always used on working occasions with poor facilities and without power supply.
