Nabrico’s Barge Moving Winch System offers precise, electric-powered control for positioning heavy barges with constant tension and safety—ideal for demanding marine environments.

Reliable, Constant-Tension Control for Heavy-Duty Barge Operations

Nabrico’s all-electric barge winch system is engineered for safe, efficient movement and positioning of barges. Designed with constant tension technology, the system maintains secure control during loading, unloading, and tide changes—ensuring smooth operation and reduced wear on cables and equipment.

Key Features

All-Electric Design  No hydraulics—just clean, reliable electric power with variable speed motors and drives.

Smart Control System  Integrated PLC (Programmable Logic Controls) manage winch modes and transitions automatically.

Constant Tension Operation  One winch pulls while the other holds, maintaining load position and adjusting cable during tide shifts or cargo movement.

Dual Potentiometer Control  Operators can fine-tune torque and speed using two control panel knobs for precise adjustments.

Failsafe Brakes  Automatically engage during power loss or emergency stop to secure the load instantly.

Zero-Speed Holding  System can maintain full horsepower load at zero speed indefinitely—ideal for long-duration positioning.
