Engineers of SKB-2 (part of the KMZ holding) have developed a slipway winch designed for lifting and launching vessels on rail trolleys. It consists of a friction winch and an accumulating winch with a rope laying device. This was reported by the holding's press service.
The frame of the friction winch is made of durable low-alloy steel and can withstand loads up to 80 tons. The rope laying device is equipped with an individual drive and automatic speed control for laying the rope on the drum of the accumulating winch.
According to the developer Sergey Kolesnichenko, the tractive effort of the slipway winch is 20 tons. To increase it, the winch is equipped with a set of two block yokes, which form a fourfold hoist.
