Electric Capstan

An electric capstan is a motorized device used to move heavy loads or cables by winding them around a drum. It functions similar to a winch but is powered electrically, providing controlled, powerful tension. Often used in maritime, industrial, or construction settings, it enables safe and efficient handling of large objects or cables, reducing manual effort and increasing safety. An electric capstan typically includes safety features and controls to regulate speed and force, allowing precise operation in demanding environments.
