Product Description

Capstans are mounted on deck to ease the handling of large, heavy mooring lines and wires. These capstans may be separate machinery units or part of the anchor windlass. The capstan's spool-shaped drum keeps the lines from slipping, especially when wet.
Most capstans are electrically driven. Depending on the class of ship and its size, capstans may be located any place on the deck, but they are usually found on the forecastle and fantail.
 
The main function of capstan is for mooring operation; our capstans are designed to minimize wear of ropes and cables, which helps prevent accidents due to breakage of mooring lines.
 
Vertical type, with or without a chain lifter, our capstans ensure compact structure, and save a considerable amount of space on deck, powered by electric or hydraulic drive. And controls will be included as the standard scope of supply.
