• Compact A&R (Traction and Storage Winches) space saving specially designed,
• Synchronized dual pulling system,
• Heave compensation available.

Dual A&R mode

Optimizing operational configuration, safety and liability increased. Connect both A&R Wire ropes in tandem to lift a single load. 2 smaller winches could be more useful than one bigger.

• Redundancy,
