PALFINGER MARINE has developed a new and innovative system for moving and securing cargo on board PSV’s. The system is designed to fit any kind of vessel design.
The cargo securing system offers:
- Hydraulic drive
- Number of lines according to customer’s specification
- Securing carriers per line: 2
- Pull force (each line) between 15 to 20 metric tons
Each hydraulic cylinder has a pulling force of 3-5 tonnes. With a friction coefficient of 0,2 it manages to pull loads of 15-20 tonnes each. By using two lines, cargo with up to 40 tonnes can be pulled on deck. The system can move cargo at a speed of around 6-12 m/min. Each securing carrier can be placed anywhere along the sliding rails. The carrier is easily connected to the sliding line by pushing down a handle. The pulling faces of the securing carriers are interchangeable to ease pulling and securing of different types of cargo, such as containers, pipes etc.
