Wintech Barge Moving Systems
Precision-Controlled Movement for Heavy Barges
Moving 1 or even 10 fully laden barges safely and efficiently requires power, precision, and control. Wintech Barge Moving Systems deliver all three with advanced electric winch technology and proven system design.
Engineered for Smooth, Safe Operation
- Variable Speed Control: Infinitely adjustable line speeds from zero to maximum ensure smooth acceleration and deceleration.
- Shock Load Reduction: Gradual ramping minimizes stress on winches and rigging, reducing wear and preventing cable damage.

Fully Electric & Environmentally Friendly
- No hydraulic components—just clean, reliable electric power.
- Designed for indoor or outdoor use with NEMA 4-rated drive cabinet and control console.
Intuitive Winch Controls
