Description
Mactaggart scott heli handling winch This a bigger unit of the 2 kinds This invention relates to hydraulically operated winch units particularly, but not exclusively, for use in relation to the handling of helicopters, e.g. on board ship. It was previously been proposed to maneouvre helicopters e.g. from a landing area to a hangar by means of wires carried by a plurality of hydraulic winches. In particular a single hydraulic winch is mounted within the hangar located on the deck of a ship. A further two winches are located fixedly on the deck of the ship aft of the landing area. In order to effect movement of the helicopter from the landing area into the hangar the forward winch is operated to haul the helicopter into the hangar and a back tension is applied to the helicopter by the two aft winches. The tensions applied to the forward and aft winches can be varied in accordance with prevailing conditions e.g. the degree and direction of inclination of the deck area over which the helicopter has to be traversed. Control of the winches is effected by a central control console which is hydraulically connected by means of pipework interconnecting the console to each of the three winches. The interconnecting pipework is commonly laid underneath the deck.
