MERMAC S - Multi-purpose winch series

First introduced for handling delicate oceanographic equipment, the MacArtney MERMAC S electrically driven winches are advanced and robust systems suited to a wide range of general marine applications.

MERMAC S winches feature several purpose-built options, making them ideal for side scan sonars, corers, CTD systems, towed vehicles, and other types of instruments and equipment.

MacArtney MERMAC S winches combine reliability with controllability. They are supplied with variable speed, tension read-out, and control via an integrated load cell.

A PLC on the winch controls the electrically driven level wind and transmits encoder and load cell data to a display showing winch speed, paid-out cable length and alarms. The PLC can also interface with other control systems. Optional PC software enables fully automated profiling capabilities.

MacArtney MERMAC S winches are often integrated into complete vessel winch and handling solutions.
