When choosing the most suitable marine hydraulic or electric winch, there are several factors to consider, especially the size of the ship, displacement, energy efficiency and other factors.
The most commonly used winches are electric or hydraulic winches.
Energy efficiency is very important when choosing winches for marine applications. The electric winch uses electricity directly from the generator set. On the other hand, hydraulic winches use fluid power to work, which utilizes a hydraulic system and a hydraulic motor pump between the generator set and the winch. However, due to this power conversion system, the performance of the hydraulic winch requires 20-30% of electricity. Hydraulic power winches are the best winches for ships with generator sets with a large enough crane load. Hydraulic winches have the ability to carry very heavy loads.
For winches on ships, the size of the ship will help determine the type of winch. Due to the size of the hydraulic system equipment, hydraulic winches are a better choice for ships that need to move very heavy cargo.
You also need to consider installing hydraulic winches and related systems. Some of the equipment and systems you must install include pipes, hydraulic components, accessories, and other additional equipment.
The advantage of a hydraulic winch is that it may last a long time because it is very durable. With proper maintenance and maintenance, such as replacing worn-out parts, hydraulic winches will provide you with a long time.
It has the ability to handle very heavy loads, especially for electric winches. As long as the engine is running, they will continue to work.
We usually recommend using an electric winch for smaller projects because it will not operate without a power source. For hydraulic winches, as long as the engine is working, it can work for a long time. Especially during ship launch and ship upgrade projects, when tidal conditions play a role in project operations, winches may need to be performed consistently over a longer period of time. In this case, heavy ships usually involve hydraulic power winches.
