being built to service and handle the deepwater drilling rigs. Included in this line are stern rollers, anchor windlasses, hydraulic tuggers, cap- stans, tow pins, cable/chain stops, and cable reels. For the most part, the basic design was not changed but the size of the components in- creased to facilitate handling of larger size wire and chain and the loads imposed by them.

GEARMATIC

Circle 33 on Reader Service Card

Gearmatic, a division of PACCAR and a major supplier of quality win- ches to the marine industry, last year introduced a new winch in its

GH Series of hydraulic planetary winches.

The GH15, rated at 15,000 pounds capacity, has been designed so that all moving parts run in oil and features highly efficient gear sets with anti-friction bearings throughout to provide smooth trou- ble-free operation. The new winch utilizes an internal automatic multi- disc, spring-applied hydraulically released safety brake. An over-run- ning brake clutch permits free rota- tion through the brake while hoist- ing but immediately holds the load securely when the hoisting opera- tion is complete. The load is held firm even if the engine dies or a hydraulic line breaks.

Compact size, low weight-to- horsepower ratio and a versatile mounting arrangement allows the

GH15 winch to be installed in vir- tually any position.

The GH15 will soon be available with up to five different drum sizes and three different motor displace- ments.

The GH15's adaptability is fur- ther increased by the availability of high speed reverse which lowers at line speeds 3.4 times faster than hoisting. A free spool option is also available to provide a means of manual cable removal.

An external brake release port, standard on the GH15, makes the winch adaptable to special applica- tions requiring intermittent or emergency cable/load release.

ASEA Hagglunds Inc., Montvale,

N.J., is a subsidiary of the Sweden- based company Hagglunds Marine & Offshore AB. Hagglunds has been a major supplier of electrohydraulic cranes to the marine and offshore market for the past 30 years. Its product range spans from two-ton service and hose cranes up to 120- ton twin cargo cranes.

Research and development ef- forts during the past decade have resulted in the development of its own electronic crane control system as well as microprocessor-controlled cargo-handling systems. These sys- tems, Steadyline and Swing Defea- tor, are capable of increasing cargo- handling productivity up to 40 per- cent. Hagglunds also recently intro- duced port cranes.

All the major hydraulic compo- nents in Hagglunds cranes are man- ufactured by the firm, thus assuring strict quality control.

In 1987, Hagglunds acquired the

Dutch offshore crane manufactur- ing company Kenz, strengthening

Hagglunds's position in the offshore market. At the same time, Hag- glunds acquired a controlling inter- est in the Norway-based crane man- ufacturing company Marine Trans- port Technology A/S.

Hagglunds's worldwide service organization offers after sales sup- port, with spare parts and service available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

They are for instance standard built for application in areas where there is a risk of explosion. Explosion proof requirements are especially high on drill platforms. For this reason increased sparking protection is possible as an optional extra. JDN-pneumatic hoists are available with carrying capacities from 0,1 to 100 tons.
