The winch PLS500R-10 is specially designed to raise and lower the sinker ring in Polarcirkel pens.
The winch PLS500R-10 is specially designed to raise and lower the sinker ring in Polarcirkel pens.
Traditionally, sinker rings have been maneuvered using boat cranes or other mechanical lifting methods.
This is a demanding task where the sinker ring must be raised gradually in a sequential movement around the pen. This requires logistics, limited time due to weather, significant HSE risk, and is expensive. With the PLS500R system, the winches are connected to the sinker ring with a Dyneema quality rope and can raise and lower the sinker ring evenly from all 10 lifting points.
160-meter pens are supplied with 10 winches, all evenly distributed around the pen.
