Anchor and mooring winches and lifts

Our range of services includes:

Diagnostics and mechanical repairs

We solve mechanical faults in winches and windlasses and we regenerate and replace worn parts such as bearings, seals and linings, drums, chains and gears. We also carry out the alignment of the coupled systems of winch assemblies using laser measuring instruments. All equipment undergoes thorough testing, including load tests and a rendering test to confirm its reliability in harsh marine environments.

Repairs and servicing of hydraulic and electrical systems used in winches

We offer a comprehensive service for hydraulic systems, from checking for leaks and repairing leaks to calibrating control systems. We exchange filters, check hydraulic fluid levels and repair or replace key components such as pumps, motors or valves. We carry out overhauls of hydraulic motors of the Staffa, Norwinch, or Kawasaki brands. Repairs and servicing of electrical systems in winches include diagnostics of control systems, inspection and repair of electrical connections, as well as replacement of key components.

Regular inspection and maintenance of mooring winches and windlasses

Our services in this area include high pressure lubrication, cleaning of mechanical components, replacement of brake linings and calibration of systems to extend the life of the equipment and reduce the cost of emergency repairs to winches and windlasses.

Experience that makes a difference

Our years of experience include servicing winches made by leading brands, such as Aker Pusnes, MacGregor, Rolls-Royce, Rauma, Brattvaag, Hatlapa and others. As a result, we are familiar with the specifics of their technological solutions and typical operating problems, allowing us to diagnose faults quickly and accurately. We use original spare parts and proven service procedures, guaranteeing the reliability and long-term performance of repaired anchor and mooring winches.

If you need a reliable partner for the service and repair of mooring winches and windlasses, contact us. We are ready to support you regardless of the location and nature of the breakdown.

FAQ – most frequently asked questions

1. How can I tell if an anchor windlass or mooring winch requires servicing?

The most common signs include oil leaks, excessive noise, irregular drive operation, braking issues, or a noticeable decrease in operating performance. Even minor changes in the way the equipment operates may indicate wear of critical components.

2. Are all repairs carried out in a workshop?

No. The scope of work depends on the type of fault. Many service tasks can be completed directly on board the vessel or while it is alongside in port. Components that require extensive refurbishment or specialist testing are typically transported to a workshop.

3. What is included in a standard inspection?

A standard inspection covers the condition of mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems. Safety-related components are also checked, and where necessary, lubrication, adjustments, or replacement of worn parts are carried out.

4. Do damaged parts always have to be replaced?

Not necessarily. If a component meets the required technical standards, it may be refurbished instead of replaced. The final decision is made after a detailed inspection and assessment of its condition.

5. Which components are most likely to wear out?

The parts most commonly subject to wear include bearings, seals, brake linings, gearboxes, drums, and hydraulic system components. Their service life depends largely on operating conditions and the intensity of use.

6. Is the equipment tested after the repair has been completed?

Yes. The type of testing depends on the work performed. This may include functional checks, operational testing, and load testing to verify that the equipment is operating correctly and safely.

7. How often should anchor windlasses and mooring winches be inspected?

There is no single maintenance interval that applies to every installation. Inspection frequency should be based on the manufacturer’s recommendations, the operating conditions, and the vessel’s maintenance schedule.

8. Does the service also include hydraulic and electrical systems?

Yes. Depending on the condition of the equipment, the work may include diagnostics, leak detection, repair or replacement of pumps, motors, valves, hoses, electrical connections, and control system components.

9. Why is regular maintenance important?

Routine maintenance helps reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns and makes it easier to identify worn components before they lead to more serious failures. As a result, downtime can often be minimised and maintenance work scheduled more efficiently.

10. Can equipment from different manufacturers be serviced?

Yes. Service can be provided for both older and modern anchor windlasses and mooring winches installed on various types of vessels. The repair scope is always determined by the equipment design and its technical condition.
