Markey Machinery Completes Shipment of Two Electric Anchor/Mooring Winches

Markey Machinery Company has completed shipment of the first two WECDF-20 125HP Electric Anchor/ Mooring Winches for the Oceaneering International of Houston, TX new 130’ Diving Support Vessel. Each winch carries 6,000 ft. of 1-1/4” wire rope and is powered by a sophisticated AC-Variable Frequency drive system outfitted with Markey’s proven Render/Recover® technology to provide precise control of the vessel in a four-point mooring system. A single control station for all four winches provides the operator with the ability to position and reposition the vessel with the simple movement of a joystick.

A new feature integrated into these winches is a multi-disc brake in place of a conventional band-brake, to provide standard braking service and control during emergency anchor deployments. Markey’s extensive use of finite-element analysis to design the structure resulted in a total weight of less than 30,000 lbs.

Founded in 1907, Markey Machinery Company is the leader in the design and manufacturing of high quality custom deck machinery for workboat, scientific, and dockside applications. Anything else is just a winch!
