The Petrel Horizontal Capstan is a hydraulically powered general purpose winch with a horizontal warping head.  Petrel’s Horizontal Capstans range from a 1,5 ton to a 3,5 ton pull.
Control is by means of a hydraulic control valve, which allows for control in both directions.  The warping head is available in either cast-iron for soft rope or in cast-steel for steel cable use
