Towing Winch · Towing Equipment
The hydraulic towing winch series operates on a heavy-duty steel construction with a disc brake and cascade control system. Designed since 1985 by Rolls-Royce/Kongsberg Maritime (UK/Norway), these units are capable of pulling from 200 to 1,500 kN using tow wire. The winches come in various sizes ranging from RR-TW-200 to RR-TW-1500, with power ranges up to 400 kW. Common issues include disc brake overheating and wear on the wire drum groove, as well as hydraulic system seal failures and cascade valve malfunctions. For maintenance, a quarterly inspection of the disc brakes is recommended, along with an annual calibration of the cascade control. Spare parts are available from Kongsberg Maritime, with a lead time of 4 to 8 weeks.
