Complete Deck Machinery Supply for Marine & Offshore
Deck machinery forms the backbone of vessel mooring, anchoring, and cargo-handling operations. Every piece — from the anchor windlass on the forecastle to the towing winch on the stern — must withstand continuous cyclic loads, saltwater corrosion, and the classification society standards that govern vessel safety worldwide.
hicool supplies complete deck machinery systems and replacement parts for newbuild, conversion, and ship repair projects. Our supply network covers more than 15 deck machinery manufacturers across China’s Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shandong shipbuilding clusters — factories that hold CCS, BV, ABS, DNV, LR, NK, and KR type approvals. Whether you need a full set of anchor windlasses for a 82,000 DWT bulk carrier or replacement brake linings for an existing mooring winch, we source the right equipment at competitive pricing with full classification documentation.
What We Supply
Anchor windlasses are available in both electric and hydraulic drive configurations, covering chain diameters from 22 mm up to 100+ mm for VLCC-class vessels. We supply split-type windlasses (separate chain wheels for port and starboard), combination windlass-mooring winches, and vertical capstan-windlass units for space-constrained foredeck arrangements. All units come with class-approved design drawings, test certificates, and spare parts kits.
Mooring winches range from simple single-drum electric winches for coastal vessels to high-capacity double-drum hydraulic split winches for offshore supply vessels and tankers. Configuration options include automatic tension control, level-wind systems, and OCIMF-compliant rope tail arrangements. Brake holding capacity follows IACS UR A2 requirements, typically rated at 80% of rope MBL.
Towing winches and capstans cover escort towing, harbour towing, and anchor-handling applications. We supply waterfall-type towing winches with dynamic braking for AHT vessels, as well as electric capstans (vertical and horizontal) for general mooring and warping duties.
Deck hardware and accessories include Panama-type fairleads, roller fairleads (universal and pedestal-mount), bollards (single and double), chain stoppers (bar-type and tongue-type), anchor chain cables (Grade U2 and U3, Stud-Link), and chain accessories (swivels, shackles, joining shackles). All items manufactured to GB/T, JIS, or IACS standards with material certificates (EN 10204 3.1).
Classification & Standards
Deck machinery is among the most heavily regulated equipment categories on any vessel. We ensure every unit and component ships with the correct documentation stack:
- Type Approval Certificates — CCS, BV, ABS, DNV GL, LR, NK, KR (matched to vessel class)
- Design Drawings — GA drawings, sectional drawings, hydraulic/electrical schematics
- Material Certificates — EN 10204 3.1 for all structural and load-bearing components
- Test Reports — Load testing at 1.5× rated pull (winches), proof load + break test (chains)
- Operation & Maintenance Manuals — English-language documentation standard
Why Source Deck Machinery Through hicool
China produces over 40% of the world’s deck machinery, but navigating dozens of manufacturers — each with different class approvals, lead times, and quality levels — is time-consuming. hicool streamlines this process: we match your specifications to the right factory, manage class approval submissions, conduct factory inspections (visual, dimensional, load testing), and consolidate shipments. One point of contact, one purchase order, full traceability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you supply deck machinery with dual class certification?
Yes. Many of our partner factories hold multiple class approvals (CCS + BV, CCS + ABS, etc.). We handle the class approval submission and coordinate surveyor attendance during factory testing. Dual-class certification typically adds 2–3 weeks to lead time.
Do you supply spare parts for existing deck machinery on board?
Yes. We supply OEM-compatible spare parts including brake linings, clutch discs, hydraulic seals, gear sets, chain wheels, and electrical components. Send us the equipment nameplate data (maker, model, serial number) and we will identify the correct parts.
What is the typical lead time for a complete anchor windlass?
Standard lead time is 12–16 weeks for a class-approved electric anchor windlass, depending on chain diameter and drive configuration. Hydraulic units with HPU may require 14–20 weeks. Spare parts are typically 2–4 weeks.
What information do you need for a deck machinery quotation?
At minimum: equipment type, chain/rope diameter, rated pull/holding capacity, drive type preference (electric or hydraulic), required classification society, and vessel type. If available, send the ship specification or the original equipment GA drawing for an exact replacement quote.
Can you arrange factory inspection and load testing?
All deck machinery undergoes factory acceptance testing (FAT) including load testing at 1.5× rated pull per class requirements. We coordinate class surveyor attendance, provide test reports with photographs, and can arrange third-party inspection if required by the buyer.
