Reach Systems

Kronos Winch

The Reach Systems Kronos Winch is the company’s largest standard winch, providing high cable capacity and pulling power for demanding marine deployment and retrieval applications.

Designed for large inspection-class ROVs, towed sonar systems, advanced hydrophone arrays, and other marine equipment, the Kronos can accommodate substantial tether lengths while maintaining an overall volume of less than 1 m³. Its compact overall size allows it to be installed aboard smaller vessels and mid-sized Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs).

Advanced motor-control options are available with cable counting, level wind, auto-tensioning, and a web interface/API for custom software integration and automated operation.
