Capstans

Why Capstans?
Rather than using the hand-over-hand method of retrieving lines, the capstan offers a mechanical advantage that is both faster and safer. The capstan does the heavy lifting with only a small amount of effort. The maximum speed of the line retrieval depends on the rotational speed of the drum. The benefit is that the retrieval speed can be adjusted by decreasing the tension on the retrieved line, maintaining control over a very heavy load with little effort.
This useful device, which has been around since the early days of sailing, is still used today. Recreational fishermen, like commercial fishermen, use these for hauling crab and lobster pots and there are many other uses aboard boats. The few mechanical parts and ease of use have made this a favorite of fisherman worldwide. While chains should NEVER be wrapped around a drum, the majority of lines can be handled on a capstan.

A capstan, typically operated by an easy to use footswitch (P7817600AJ), allows the boater to control lines with ease without having additional crew members. Powerwinch has a model to fit your needs. All Powerwinch capstans come with a foot control switch that allows for hands-free operation.

Why do we need a winch? The winch provides a faster and safer mechanical advantage instead of using the handover method to obtain the steel wire. The winch only needs a small amount of work to complete the heavy work. The maximum speed of the line search depends on the rotation speed of the photosensitive drum. The advantage is that the recovery speed can be adjusted by reducing the tension of the recovery line, so that very heavy loads can be controlled very easily. This useful device that has been used since the beginning of the voyage is still in use today. Recreational fishermen, like commercial fishermen, use them for hauling crabs and lobster tanks, and there are many other uses on board. Few mechanical parts and ease of use make it a favorite of fishermen all over the world. Although the chain is never wound on a drum, most production lines can be handled on a winch. The winch (P7817600AJ) is usually operated by an easy-to-use foot switch, allowing the rower to easily control the production line without additional personnel. Powerwinch models can meet your needs. All Powerwinch winches are equipped with foot switches for hands-free operation. The fast fishing cupping device spends more time fishing and reduces the time it takes to pull a cupping device by up to 200 pounds! Our quick pot grabber is very suitable for fast, safe and easy removal of lobster or crab pot with a fast retraction speed of 150 feet/minute. Assist you to retrieve the flower pot in less than two minutes!
