Riser pull-in winches

With years of experience in designing and manufacturing winches, IHC Merwede produces a wide range of winch systems. All IHC Merwede rotary drum winches are custom built and available up to a line pull of 650mT in a horizontal or vertical pulling direction, single or multi-layer, with or without spooling device, flat or (LEBUS) grooved drums, with or without control consoles, including or excluding (synthetic) wire ropes, electric or hydraulic motor drives, and with or without class certification. IHC Merwede can supply any winch to meet the requirements of its customers, designed for the harsh conditions of the offshore industry.

The water-depth limits for offshore field development are extending continuously. This means that the limits for IHC Merwede winches are constantly evolving as well. The company’s answer is a new generation of traction and storage winches. Both have a relatively compact design, are extremely reliable and are smooth for the wire rope to safeguard continuity of operations.
