ELECTRIC-HYDRAULIC WINCHES

  Combine advantages of both electric and hydraulic winch
  Time saving installation procedure
  Stepless control of speed and pull
  Self tensioning

Some twenty-five years ago SEC developed the electric-hydraulic winch. This type of winch combines the advantages of the electric and the hydraulic winches into one compact design.

The main shaft is driven by a variable hydromotor, which enables stepless control of speed and pull of the chainwheel or drum. The incorporated pump is powered by an electromotor mounted in the winch. Therefore, hydraulic piping from the engineroom to the winch is no longer necessary.

The winch is standard delivered including the foundation. Consequently, installation is very simple. The winch can easily be welded to the deck. After connection to the electrical main system the winch is ready for use.

All types of winches - anchor, anchor mooring, etc. - can be delivered with the electric hydraulic power system. SEC has approval of all major classification societies for this type of winch.
