Low Speed High Torque Pull Units

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction

Low Speed High Torque Pull Units are specialized marine deck machines designed to deliver controlled, high-torque pulling for heavy mooring lines, steel cables, and synthetic ropes. They are ideal for applications requiring precise tensioning and gradual line handling under challenging sea conditions.

These pull units combine robust drive systems with precise braking and torque control mechanisms, ensuring safe and consistent operation. Their design minimizes sudden line jerks and reduces stress on ropes, chains, and deck equipment.

Equipped with either hydraulic or electric drives, modern Low Speed High Torque Pull Units feature intelligent control interfaces for adjusting speed, torque, and tension dynamically. These units are widely used on offshore support vessels, FPSOs, tugboats, and large commercial ships, providing reliable line management in all marine environments.

Specification

Rated Pull Capacity 30 kN to 650 kN depending on unit configuration
Line Compatibility Steel wire ropes, synthetic mooring lines, composite cables
Drive Type Hydraulic or electric motor with planetary or helical gearbox
Control Mode Local, remote, or integrated bridge control interface
Speed Range 0–8 m/min for precise slow-pull operations
Brake System Hydraulic or mechanical disc brake with fail-safe and emergency stop
Duty Cycle Continuous heavy-duty operation under high torque loads
Environmental Protection Marine-grade coatings, corrosion-resistant housings, and sealed gearboxes

Application

These pull units are used in operations requiring controlled high-torque, low-speed pulling of heavy lines or cables. Common applications include:

  • Mooring large commercial vessels, tankers, and container ships
  • Offshore support vessels managing multiple lines and dynamic positioning
  • FPSOs and floating platforms requiring slow, controlled line deployment
  • Tugboats assisting heavy towing or berthing operations
  • Marine construction and offshore installations requiring careful handling of cables, anchors, and mooring lines

Advantages

Low Speed High Torque Pull Units provide key operational advantages:

  • Controlled low-speed operation reduces sudden line stresses and jerks
  • High torque capability enables handling of heavy and long lines
  • Reliable braking system ensures safe tension control under extreme conditions
  • Durable and corrosion-resistant construction for offshore and marine environments
  • Flexible control modes allow both manual and automated operation

These advantages enhance crew safety, prolong line life, and reduce equipment wear, making operations more predictable and efficient.

Material and Structure

The main frame and structural components are made of high-strength steel or cast alloy to resist torsion, bending, and fatigue under heavy loads. Shafts, gears, and drive assemblies are precision-machined and heat-treated for long-term torque transmission and minimal wear.

Bearings are chosen to handle combined axial and radial loads, while high-quality seals protect against seawater, dust, and debris. All exterior surfaces are treated with marine-grade coatings, ensuring long-term resistance to corrosion and harsh marine environments.
