Mooring Winch · Anchor & Mooring Equipment
The Twistlock C8A-HC Fully Automatic from MacGregor Finland Oy is designed to handle anchor chains and mooring lines with a braking system capable of withstanding up to 500 tonnes of force, or in compliance with ISO and classification society standards. The system is configurable to handle loads from 5 to 300 tonnes on the first layer and features a modular hydraulic power unit (HPU) or full electrical drive. The brake holding capacity is crucial, requiring the brake to withstand at least 45% of the chain cable breaking strength if a chain stopper is installed, and 80% if it is not. Regular maintenance, including brake lining inspections every six months and gear oil changes every two years, is essential to ensure optimal performance and safety. Additionally, spare brake linings should be kept on board due to a potential lead time of 3-6 weeks for replacements.
