Deck machinery for tugs and workboats
Rolls-Royce, which developed its first hydraulic winch more than 75 years ago, recognises the rugged and versatile qualities needed by tugs in today’s demanding maritime industry.
We are a leading supplier of heavy-duty winches and, through our consistent investment in focused, market-driven research and development; we manufacture a high-technology range of winches, which are the preferred choice for operators of escort, harbour and coastal tugs.
We supply both low-pressure and high-pressure hydraulically-driven, electric and frequency converter-driven winches for tugs. A combination of colossal pulling force, compact design, simple operation and high reliability means our systems are recognised by the industry as a prime towing winch solution.
We also provide a range of anchoring and mooring winches including low-pressure and high-pressure hydraulics, electric pole change and electric frequency converter-driven systems.
Our winch designs are modular – comprising the drum, shafting, brake, bearing bracket, rope reels, warping end, gear and drive – which assures simpler operation and maintenance.
