New Barge Pulling System
Thern Inc. announced a new alternative -- The Barge Pulling System – to help position barges more efficiently when loading and unloading, without the use of tug boats. The new system uses two power winches and a control panel that is designed to help operators easily maneuver barges along the edge of the pier. By letting out line on one of the winches and pulling in on the other, the system is able to control the tension so operators can reduce slack and eliminate barge drift. To accurately position the barge, operators can either control each winch individually or in tandem, either manually or automatically. A special indicator switch lets the operator select the mode, while a joystick provides directional control.
