Mowe manufactures various types of winches and tug winches for Offshore vessels, FPSO, FSO and Offshore structures.
Basically a winch is a mechanical device that is used to pull in (wind up) or let out (wind out) or otherwise adjust the "tension" of a rope or wire rope (also called "cable" or "wire cable"). In its simplest form it consists of a spool and attached hand crank. In larger forms, winches stand at the heart of machines as diverse as Harbour Winch, Offshore Vessel winch and FPSO / FSO Winches. The spool can also be called the winch drum. More elaborate designs have gear replica rolex assemblies and can be powered by electric, hydraulic, pneumatic or internal combustion drives. Some may include a solenoid brake and/or a mechanical brake or ratchet and pawl device that prevents it from unwinding unless the pawl is retracted
