  • CAPSTAN DESIGN: innovative designs ---- pulling for the future
    • Highly efficient, resulting in more pull for equal or less horsepower
    • Capable of two times the running load without stalling
    • Utilize an integral gear motor which makes for a compact design
    • Only the motor shaft turns at high speed, resulting in vibration free operation
    • Long life cycle with minimum maintenance

  • CAPSTAN HEADS: Our capstan heads are of cast steel and come in several sizes.
    •   9" diameter head, will handle seven wraps of 1.25" diameter rope
    • 12" diameter head, will handle seven wraps of 1.5" diameter rope
