Thern, Inc. of Winona, MN has introduced its new dock-mounted Barge Pulling System [Warning: PDF link]. The system uses two power winches, can position up to 10 barges simultaneously, provides accurate barge control and requires less maintenance than hydraulic positioning systems. The system also uses soft-start motors to provide smooth, slow-speed starts and stops. It has a maximum load capacity of 25 tons and can pull left-to-right or right-to-left. The winches can be controlled independently or simultaneously, and can be automatically or manually controlled.
