MES 50 Heavy-Duty Marine Winch

Traditional Strength. Modern Hydraulic Control.

Engineered for the work that cannot stop.

Timberland Equipment was selected to partner with Marine Equipment Solutions to develop the recently launched MES 50. The collaboration also draws on the marine construction expertise of Rasmussen Equipment, an MES company established in 1936.

Together, Timberland Equipment, Marine Equipment Solutions, and Rasmussen Equipment bring more than 130 years of combined industry experience to this new generation of heavy-duty winching.

MES 50 Heavy Duty Marine Winch

The MES 50 combines the proven strength and durability of traditional friction winches with advanced hydraulic drive technology and precision controls. It delivers the power, efficiency, and control required for demanding marine and construction applications.

By integrating proven winching principles with modern technology, the MES 50 is designed to meet the evolving needs of the marine construction industry.

Enhanced performance: Designed to improve efficiency and power, the MES 50 excels in demanding tasks across various environments, allowing operators to select between high and low speeds for optimal performance.

• Hydraulic power system: The winches can be powered by either diesel or electric hydraulic power units (HPUs). By utilizing Tier 4 engines and electric HPUs the MES 50 contributes to a more environmentally friendly operation.

• Enhanced control and precision: Equipped with hydraulic controls, the MES 50 allows for precise operation, improving handling and finesse in lifting and pulling applications. The MES 50 provides smoother control and greater efficiency compared to traditional friction winches.

• Durability and longevity: Constructed with all-steel welded components, the MES 50 is built to withstand tough conditions, ensuring consistent performance in challenging marine environments.

• Integrated safety features: Equipped with multiple safety mechanisms, such as spring-applied brakes and mechanical locking dogs, the winch enhances operational safety for both operators and equipment.

• User-friendly operation: The intuitive joystick control system simplifies operation, significantly reducing the learning curve for new operators.

• Modular design: The winch offers modular options including subframes with integrated fleeting sheaves, allowing for flexible configurations tailored to specific projects.

• Dust and water protection: IP56-rated electric motors provide reliable protection against dust and water, making the MES 50 suitable for harsh environments.

• Standardized fleet and components: The MES 50 is designed with uniform parts across the fleet, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime while providing operators with consistent training resources for efficient operation and service.
