Winches

The MacArtney Group supplies a broad range of winch systems for marine related applications. All winches and cable handling systems are manufactured in close proximity to the Danish headquarters in Esbjerg, facilitating coordinated engineering, design, production, system integration and certification. A correctly designed cable and cable handling system can substantially extend the working life of most underwater systems - ROVs, towed systems, corers, ploughs, diving systems etc.

Traditionally MacArtney supplies "package solutions". These are integrated systems of dynamic cables, slip rings, winches, sheaves, launch and recovery systems, wave compensation etc. as applicable. All are engineered, tested and certified to suit the particular customer application.

MacArtney launch and recovery systems (LARS) provide reliable and fully controllable deployment, operation and recovery of a wide scope of equipment – from small sonar and oceanographic systems to large work class ROVs.

Our hydraulic driven LARS can be designed as portable systems, compact fixed systems or as fully integrated winch and handling systems.

MacArtney advanced moon pool handling systems (MPHS) provide easy control and handling of entire ROV systems through a vessel moon pool.

Cursor winches Cursor winches control the mechanical trolleys that carry tether management systems (TMS) and ROVs through a moon pool. The cursor winch’s steel wire ropes carry the frame through the splash zone before safely launching and recovering the TMS and ROV.
