Overview Technical Specifications Case Study Download

The ROV Winch is an umbilical winch system that stores and handles the umbilical for launch and recovery of observation-class ROVs, work-class ROVs and heavy-duty engineering ROVs, covering vehicle power from 5 HP to 1100 HP.

It handles metal-armored or non-metallic-armored opto-electric composite umbilicals from 10 mm to 52 mm diameter, with working load from 0.5 t to 45 t. Electric or hydraulic drive, direct-pull or traction configuration, and an integrated or distributed layout are selected to suit the vehicle and the deck.

The independent level wind can be supplied in right-angle or linear form. An active cable tensioning device and a heave compensation device are available as options. The winch is designed and supplied by OCEAN PHYSICS and can be combined with an A-frame or docking head from the Handling range.
