Description
Summary:Experience gained in the Arctic, working in both winter and summer, from rubber boats, aeroplanes landing on the sea ice, ships, and Skidoo-type vehicles prompted the development of a portable, self-contained winch for shallow waters (250 m). Particular requirements dictated a number of unusual features, resulting in this winch being developed 'in-house,' as no suitable commercial product was available. The concept kept in mind was that the winch was to be self-contained, portable, virtually noise-free from electrical/mechanical interference, and that cables, sensors, and recording packages could be easily changed according to the task.
