Traction Winches for Wire Rope, ROV Cable & Wireline Tension Control

Traction Winches for Wire Rope, ROV Cable & Wireline Tension Control

Traction Winches are used to hold back and control tension on wire ropes, ROV cable, synthetic rope and wireline. These systems provide precise tension management for demanding marine and offshore applications where safe and controlled cable handling is critical.

Often referred to as Dual Wheel Capstans, Traction Winches are commonly used to control tension when loading material onto a winch that cannot support high line tensions on the lower layers. By maintaining consistent line tension, they help improve operational safety, reduce equipment stress and extend cable and rope service life.

Reel Power designs and manufactures Offshore Traction Winches, Marine Traction Winches and Linear Traction Winches for a wide range of applications involving cable deployment, installation, retrieval and tension control. These systems are widely used as Cable Laying Traction Winches, Cable Deployment Winches, Offshore Installation Winches and High Tension Traction Winches for offshore construction, subsea operations and ROV support projects.

Traction winches can also function as effective Cable Tensioners, Rope Tensioners and Tension Control Winches, providing smooth and reliable line handling while minimizing the risk of cable damage and operational downtime.
