Hydraulic Capstan

A hydraulic capstan is a mechanical device used to pull or hold heavy loads using hydraulic power. It features a rotating drum or drum-like structure that winds or unwinds a rope, cable, or chain under controlled tension. Powered by hydraulic cylinders, it provides smooth, powerful, and precise movement, making it ideal for applications such as mooring ships, lifting heavy equipment, or securing large structures. The hydraulic system allows for easy control of the tension and speed, ensuring safe and efficient handling of substantial loads in marine, industrial, or construction settings.
