  • Solar powered mini capstans

    1 December 2025

    We design and manufacture custom capstans in a wide range of shapes and sizes. For this project, we delivered a winching solution for a remote location without access to grid power.

    Compact design with off-grid power supply

    The off-grid solar system provides sufficient energy for a 1.5-kilowatt capstan. It delivers a hauling speed of fifteen metres per minute and a continuous pulling capacity of five hundred kilograms.

    All components are integrated into a compact unit with a footprint of only three hundred by three hundred millimetres. As a result, maximum working space remains available on the existing mono pile platforms.

    Reliable operation in remote conditions

    The system includes integrated lighting to support safe operation during nighttime. In addition, the battery system ensures reliable availability. Even without sunlight, the capstan can continue operating for up to twenty-five days.

    Custom solutions for every application

    This project shows how solar-powered solutions can support reliable operations in remote environments. Each capstan is designed to match the specific requirements of the application.
