We are here for you

The 45T double drum waterfall marine winch is a powerhouse in the maritime industry, engineered specifically for demanding tasks such as towing, mooring, and anchor handling. Its unique “waterfall” (vertical staggered) design allows for high rope capacity and multi-functional capability while maintaining a compact footprint on the vessel deck.

At CP Winch, we provide heavy-duty winching solutions that comply with international maritime standards, ensuring safety and reliability in the harshest sea conditions.

Why Choose a Waterfall Configuration?

The “waterfall” arrangement places one drum above and slightly behind the other. This setup offers several advantages:

  • Space Efficiency: Maximizes deck space by utilizing vertical height.

  • Optimized Spooling: Improved fleet angles for both drums, reducing rope wear.

  • Versatility: Allows for simultaneous or independent operation of towing and anchor handling lines.

Key Features of our 45-Ton Marine Winch

1. Robust Drive Systems

Our 45T winches are available in both Electric and Hydraulic drive configurations. The hydraulic variant is particularly favored for offshore operations due to its stepless speed control and high torque density.

 

2. Advanced Control & Safety

Equipped with emergency release systems, length/tension monitoring, and fail-safe braking mechanisms to protect your crew and equipment.

 

3. Corrosion Resistance

Built with marine-grade steel and finished with high-durability epoxy coatings to withstand saltwater environments and prevent oxidation.

FAQs About Marine Winches

Q1: What is the benefit of a 45T waterfall winch over a linear double drum winch?

The waterfall design is significantly more compact, making it ideal for vessels with limited deck space. It also provides better line sight and fleet angles for the upper drum compared to side-by-side configurations.

Q2: Can the winch be customized for specific rope types?

Yes. We can customize drum dimensions to accommodate steel wire rope, synthetic fiber rope, or specialized umbilical cables depending on your operational needs.

Q3: What maintenance is required for a hydraulic 45T marine winch?

Regular maintenance includes checking hydraulic fluid levels, inspecting seal integrity, lubricating the gearings, and testing the emergency brake systems. CP Winch provides a detailed maintenance manual with every unit.

Q4: Does the winch come with a warranty and certification?

Absolutely. All CP Winch products come with a standard 12-month warranty and can be delivered with major class certificates such as CCS, BV, or ABS.
