The Difference between a Marine Gangway Winch and an Ordinary Winch
A gangway winch is a machine that pulls heavy objects by winding a wire rope around a drum.
Formally, the marine gangway winch has a higher requirement for the winch volume, which requires a higher degree of integration of the marine gangway winch, while at the same time enhancing the level of automation. In general, the weight of the gangway is not large, and the ship gangway winch only needs to be used when docking at the dock, so the power requirement for it is not large, that is, the quality of the winch itself is not high.
In addition, because the marine gangway winch is used at sea, it is necessary to consider the use environment at sea, one is much more corrosive than on land, and the second is that the ship on the ocean is constantly in a state of swaying. These will present some additional design requirements for marine ramp winches.
