When working in a maritime environment, your equipment faces two major enemies: salt corrosion and heavy loads. A marine electric winch from GT Winch is engineered specifically to survive these harsh conditions. Whether you are anchoring a vessel, mooring at a pier, or pulling cargo on a ship’s deck, our winches provide the reliability you need.

As a professional manufacturer, we ensure every marine winch meets international maritime standards, providing peace of mind for shipowners and port operators worldwide.

Unlike standard industrial winches, a winch used at sea requires special features to prevent failure:

1. Anti-Corrosion Coating: We use marine-specific epoxy zinc-rich paint that resists saltwater spray.

2. Waterproof Motors: Our motors are rated IP56 or higher, ensuring they function even when splashed by heavy waves.

3. Marine Braking Systems: Equipped with fail-safe manual and automatic braking to handle the unpredictable movement of the sea.

4. Stainless Steel Components: Key parts are made from stainless steel or galvanized materials to extend the service life.

For marine applications, choosing the right tonnage is critical for safety. We offer a wide range of capacities:

• 5-Ton Marine Winch: Ideal for small fishing boats and light mooring tasks.

• 10-Ton to 15-Ton Marine Winch: The standard choice for medium-sized cargo ships and tugs.

• 20-Ton to 30-Ton Marine Winch: Heavy-duty solutions for large vessels, anchoring, and offshore oil platforms.

Our marine electric winches are designed for multiple shipboard and dockside functions:

• Mooring: Securing a ship to a berth or pier.

• Anchoring: Controlling the anchor chain or rope.

• Towing: Pulling other vessels or objects through the water.

• Deck Handling: Moving heavy equipment or cargo on the ship’s surface.

GT Winch understands that maritime safety is non-negotiable. Our manufacturing process follows strict ISO guidelines. Upon request, we can provide winches that comply with major classification society standards such as CCS, BV, ABS, and GL. Every unit undergoes a 125% load test before leaving our factory.

We do not recommend it. Standard winches lack the necessary waterproof sealing and anti-corrosion treatment. A specialized marine electric winch is essential to avoid motor burnout and rust-related failure.

Most ships use 380V, 415V, or 440V AC at 50Hz or 60Hz. We can customize the motor voltage to match your ship’s electrical system.

Yes, we offer both a waterproof pendant control (cable) and a long-range wireless remote for safer operations on deck.

We recommend a monthly inspection for lubrication and checking the integrity of the waterproof seals, especially after long voyages in salty environments.
