Vertical Hydraulic Anchor Capstan

TUF Vertical Hydraulic Anchor capstans are designed and built to handle both mooring and anchoring work on ships. This equipment consists of a mooring head and a gypsy for anchor chains range from 16mm to 60mm. Electro-hydraulic power unit (HPU) or diesel engine HPU are possible power sources. They can be deck-mounted or thru-deck mounted. It has the same functions as anchor winch but look different. The capstan has one drum to rotate and wind the anchor chain or rope but not hold or store the chain or rope on the drum. By rotating, the capstan drum controls the releasing and paying out of the line attached to the anchor to realize the operations. One advantage of using anchor capstan on a ship is that the line hauling can come from any direction, but the anchor rope or chain should approach the chain gypsy at an angle, which should not be more than 5 degrees above or 5 degrees below the center line of the gypsy.

The rated pull is from 30 to 200KN.
