Auto Trawl
Rapp Hydema design and manufacture automated trawl winch systems with computerised control and monitoring, known as "Auto Trawl".
This system maximises the performance of fishing equipment, maintaining optimum net opening and trawl door spread, whether it is bottom-trawl or mid-water. It accomodates the effects of tide and ensures the net follows the contour of the sea bottom from a given distance, minimising the risk of losing fishing equipment and enhancing safety in bad weather.
We supply, install and service a full range of winches:
- Cargo winches
- Trawl winches
- Mooring winches
- Line winches
- Anchor winches
We have vast experience in this area, and will develop a winching solution that works for your business.
