Okeanus Science & Technology has launched a new all-hydraulic Stackable Winch

The ruggedised compact 3 HP winch, which is supported by a 28’ x 12’ x 18’ drum and 0.450’ cable, is capable of a variable line speed of 100 ft/min and a line pull maximum of 700 lbs. Constructed primarily of Aluminum 6061-T6 and with its multi-coat marine grade coating, the winch can withstand harsh offshore operating conditions with full adherence to ABS standards. The “stackable” design feature allows for the optimisation of space on smaller vessels. The winch is designed to support a wide range of oceanographic equipment and marine instrumentation, including towed side-scan and magnetometer systems, water samplers, CTDs, and various other oceanographic winch operations.

“We are thrilled to launch the first model in our new line of compact, lightweight Stackable Winches,” said Okeanus chief operating officer Don Brockett. “This new product line has been designed to offer offshore operators an intuitive, easy-to-maintain, and affordable option for survey vessels with limited available deck space, with the option to deploy up to three winches at the same time in a stacked formation.”
