The method of ship anchoring varies with different waters, weather conditions, etc. There are usually the following five anchoring methods:
- Bow anchoring
- Side anchoring
- Stern anchoring
- Bow and stern anchoring
- Multi-point anchoring
Anchor winch is used to drop and retract anchors, and is usually installed on the main deck of the fore and stern part of the ship.
Anchor gypsy refers to the chain handling wheel. It is used to engage chains.
At present, the anchor winches for seagoing vessels are mainly electric windlass and electro-hydraulic anchor winch (also known as hydraulic windlass).
The electric anchor winch for small boats utilizes electric motor which will drive the drum to rotate after multi-stage deceleration is achieved by large and small gears in the reduction gearbox. Due to a high requirement for reduction ratio, the speed reduction mechanism is relatively large.
The uses of a marine anchor winch typically fall in small to medium-sized boats and ships. The diameter is anchor chain is generally in a range of 16 to 93mm.
Working principle: when used for dropping or lowering an anchor, the clutch will be disengaged. The main shaft and drum rotate and the chain wheel doesn’t. However, when used to weigh anchor, the clutch will be closed. And the rope drum and chain wheel rotate simultaneously. The band brake is designed to brake the chain wheel in order to control the chain speed.
Note: if the water depth exceeds 25m, the anchor should be sent to about 10m from the seabed and then free falls. When the water depth is more than 40m, the anchor should be directly sent to the seabed, and then the chain will be slowly loosened with the brake.
Our winches have been assembled and debugged before leaving the factory, so it is very easy and quick to install the winch.
The installation of the windlass electric anchor winch should ensure that the three points (chain cylinder, chain brake and chain wheel) drawn by the chain are in a line.
Aicrane supplies a variety of anchor winches for boats, including electric anchor winch, hydraulic anchor winch, diesel anchor winch, single gypsy anchor windlass, double gypsy anchor windlass, single drum anchor winch, double drum anchor winch, etc. In addition, the anchor winch machine can be provided with warping head for line handling.

It is very important to properly and safely anchor your boat. The following tips will guide you to a safe anchoring operation.
- Before deciding the position where to anchor your boat, you should cruise around and check the boats that have been already at anchor to make sure you have enough room.
- Keep in mind that boats that are attached to rope swing around more than those to chain.
- As the boat stops completely, you can start to lower the anchor.
- After lowering the anchor, make sure it is holding firm.
- Do not switch off the engine until you can make sure the anchor is set.
- If your boat is close to shore, you can use prominent landmarks to check if you are holding your position. And conduct the check frequently.
- The boat should always be anchored via the bow.
