Deck Mounted Traction Devices

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction

Deck Mounted Traction Devices are specialized marine equipment designed for controlled handling, pulling, and tensioning of ropes, cables, and mooring lines directly from the ship deck. These devices provide reliable traction and precise line control, ensuring safe and efficient mooring, towing, and offshore operations.

Engineered for heavy-duty performance, these devices integrate powerful drive systems with advanced braking and tension control mechanisms. The design allows for smooth operation at variable speeds, minimizing sudden line jerks and reducing wear on ropes and cables.

Deck Mounted Traction Devices are widely used on commercial ships, offshore support vessels, FPSOs, and tugboats. Their robust construction and precision control make them essential for modern marine operations requiring high reliability and safety.

Specification

Rated Pull Capacity 40 kN to 700 kN depending on model
Line Compatibility Steel wire ropes, synthetic ropes, fiber composite cables
Drive Type Hydraulic motor or electric motor with planetary or bevel gearbox
Control Mode Local control, remote control, or integrated bridge system
Speed Range 0–12 m/min adjustable according to line type and tension
Brake System Hydraulic or mechanical disc brake with fail-safe and emergency stop
Duty Cycle Continuous heavy-duty operation suitable for long-term deployments
Environmental Protection Marine-grade coatings, corrosion-resistant components, sealed housings

Application

Deck Mounted Traction Devices are applied in various marine operations where controlled line handling is critical:

  • Mooring large commercial vessels, tankers, container ships, and passenger ships
  • Offshore support vessels and tugboats for precise positioning and towing
  • FPSOs and floating platforms managing multiple mooring lines
  • Marine construction projects requiring controlled deployment of ropes, cables, or chains
  • Harbor and port operations involving docking, line tensioning, and cargo handling assistance

Advantages

Key advantages of Deck Mounted Traction Devices include:

  • Controlled traction reduces sudden line stresses and jerks
  • High reliability and durability for continuous heavy-duty use
  • Precise speed and tension control for safe operations
  • Compact, modular design allows flexible deck integration
  • Compatibility with multiple line types and diameters enhances operational versatility

These benefits improve crew safety, prolong line life, and increase operational efficiency.

Material and Structure

The structural frame is built with high-strength steel or cast alloy to resist bending, torsion, and fatigue under heavy loads. Shafts, gears, and drive assemblies are precision-machined and heat-treated for consistent torque transmission and durability.

Bearings are selected to withstand axial and radial loads, while high-performance seals protect internal components from seawater, dust, and debris. Marine-grade coatings ensure long-term corrosion resistance, even in harsh offshore environments.
