Barge Connecting Winches
Barges
Barge coupling system
UMC-BC-40 barge connecting winches with D-rings, button chocks and open wire chocks — the hardware that holds a tow together.
The challenge
Coupling wires carry the whole tow. Winches need high holding capacity, fine final tensioning and low maintenance; the fittings around them must guide wire cleanly from barge to barge.
What we supplied
- UMC-BC-40 winch: 40-ton holding dog/brake capacity, typical line tension 10,000 lb, drum capacity 96 ft of ¾" wire.
- Precision double-dog ratchet and hand-operated brake for controlled tensioning and release.
- Hot-dip galvanized, fully enclosed drum and gearing, open-bottom design for easy clean-out.
- D-rings to attach the winch, button chocks to hold the eye of the wire, open wire chocks to guide it.
The result
A coupling system with decades of service history across North and South America, specified as one package.
