The winches available from GoSubsea have been modified to suit the rental market. All have remote as well as local controls, certified lifting frames, and splash proof electrical enclosures. The sealed slip rings fitted are terminated into a junction box which can accept either a deck cable or any water proof electrical connector.
The MPD winch shown above has a capacity of 4500m of 11.4mm single coaxial cable, and is ideal for two-wire digital sidescans. The autopulse system can be programmed to move the spooling gear precisely for every revolution of the drum.
