Towing Winch · Towing Equipment
Karmøy Winch KTW-40t is identified in the source list as a towing winch. It is installed on a reinforced working deck, typically aft or forward on a tug or towing vessel, with a clear towline lead to the towing point or fairlead. Its purpose is to control and transmit towing loads while allowing the crew to pay out, recover, secure or release the towline according to the equipment type. The existing database record provides no additional model-specific operating figure beyond the listed designation and category. Towing machinery is integrated with foundations, brakes, drives, controls and line-handling components designed for dynamic tow loads. The exact model designation identifies line capacity, drive configuration and load rating; these values must be taken from approved manufacturer and vessel documentation.
Every value below comes from the manufacturer datasheet or class-society record on file for this model.

What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Inspect brakes, clutches, drums, fairleads, sheaves, drive components, foundations and guards before towing operations. Check towline spooling and contact surfaces and remove burrs or damage that could harm the line. Function-test local and remote controls, emergency release and load-monitoring features where fitted using the approved procedure. Inspect hydraulic hoses and valves or electrical equipment according to drive type. Examine foundations and high-load welds for corrosion or cracking and keep personnel clear of loaded-line danger zones. Refer to manufacturer and class documentation for exact brake settings, load tests, inspection intervals and wear limits.
Keep brake service parts, hydraulic seals or hose consumables where applicable, control switches, sensors, bearings and manufacturer-recommended line-handling wear parts. Critical release components must match the approved towing system. Heavy drums, gears and structural parts are normally managed as strategic spares.
