Precision transmission cables handling
Purpose-built for transmission cable deployment, our net sounder winches deliver reliable performance where standard wire rope winches fall short. Designed to handle the specialized requirements of net sounder systems, these winches ensure continuous, accurate data flow from your trawl net to the bridge.
Why choose our net sounder winches?
Independent operation, universal compatibility
Works autonomously from your trawl winch system, allowing seamless integration with any existing trawl winch configuration. This flexibility means you can upgrade or add net sounder capability without overhauling your deck equipment.
Active winch performance
With pull capacity up to 2 tonnes, our winches actively manage cable deployment and retrieval, maintaining optimal tension and spooling throughout your fishing operations.
