ENGINEERED FOR SECURE ANCHORING

Built To Perform.
Designed For Your Deck.

PETEC AW-Series anchor winches are designed for marine anchoring where deck space is limited. An engageable chain gypsy works with a handwheel-operated band brake to control anchor deployment, while the warping head can operate independently for versatile rope handling.

The clutch mechanism is designed for quick, easy engagement and a large contact area to help minimise wear on the clutch and chain gypsy. A quality gearbox supports long service life and reduced downtime. PETEC can help you select an AW50-H or AW65-H anchor winch based on chain size, required pull, hydraulic supply and available deck space.
