Markey Supplies Tug With Two Capstans

—Literature Available Houma Fabricators in Louisiana is currently installing two additional CYP-90 Hydraulic Capstans from Markey Machinery Co., Inc. of Seattle on a tug being built for the Panama Canal Commission.

Rated for 9-inch circular Hawser, these units are duplicates of a series of capstans purchased over recent years for ship handling tugs. A major feature of the hydraulic system supplied by Markey is the use of dual hydraulic motors and a series/ parallel valve. This layout provides high pull and high speed ranges.

Also supplied is a reversing valve and dual pumps mounted to a clutched gathering box. The mounting plate of the capstan is welded directly into the deck, and faired to provide a clean above deck installation.
