Capstan Systems

Capstan Systems are specialized solutions used to manage and control the movement of cables, hoses, or other flexible lines in complex environments such as ships, offshore platforms, or industrial facilities. They employ a motorized drum or winch mechanism combined with friction-driven rollers, allowing precise handling of heavy or delicate lines with minimal manual effort. Capstan Systems improve safety, efficiency, and control by enabling smooth, consistent pulling or paying out of lines, especially in challenging conditions or when dealing with high forces. They are essential for tasks requiring secure, reliable, and repeatable handling of long, heavy, or sensitive cable runs.
