Electric-driven deck machinery
Electric-driven deck machinery improves safety, reliability, and environmental performance
MacGregor electric-driven deck machinery
With extensive experience and proven technologies, MacGregor electric-driven deck machinery is designed to improve safety, reliability, and environmental performance.
Electric-driven deck machinery provides significant benefits to shipbuilders and ship-owners. It is easy to install and maintain, due to a reduction in the number of components and consumables used. Reliability and performance are improved by incorporating proven technologies that have been further developed to optimise weight and increase competitiveness. Operational availability is maximised and unplanned downtime minimised through the use of qualified components and the latest technology.
Safety, which is MacGregor's highest priority, can be further enhanced by selecting the combined windlass and mooring winches, where an emergency operation feature for VFD-driven winches ensures a continued operation in case of a failure of the inverter.
