Deck Machinery Review (continued) Jackson, the company's vice presi- dent-materials. One attractive feature of the new winch is its mini-profile design, which makes it an excellent choice for applications where space is lim- ited. The new winch employs many features of the original NABRICO hand winch, including a quick re- lease action, a hand wheel for fast take up and a foot brake for run-out control. Many parts for the new winch are interchangeable with parts for other NABRICO winches for easy repair or replacement, and all parts are available from NABRI- CO and many of its distributors. NABRICO is a wholly owned sub- sidiary of the American Ship Build- ing Company, Tampa, Fla. The firm has beeen in the marine field for more than 70 years, and offers a complete line of deck hardware for towboats, barges and terminals serving the marine industry. NATIONAL CRANE Circle 14 on Reader Service Card National Crane Corporation, Waverly, Neb., has designed and built a number of pedestal-mounted telescoping hydraulic cranes for use aboard ships, offshore, docks and other marine sites. The National marine line in- cludes: the Series 200, with 10,700- pound maximum capacity and 28- foot maximum boom length; the Se- ries 400, with 16,000-pound maxi- mum capacity and 55-foot maxi- mum boom length; the Series 600B with 28,000-pound maximum capac- ity and 66-foot maximum boom length; and the Series 800B, with 35,000-pound maximum capacity and 75-foot maximum boom length. The latter three feature planetary, 375-degree rotation, while the Series 200 offers rack-and-pinion, 390-de- gree rotation. High-performance planetary win- ches are standard on the Series 400, 600B and 800B, while the Series 200 has a worm-gear winch. Rotation- resistant wire rope is standard on all. NEI CLARKE CHAPMAN Circle 15 on Reader Service Card Northern Engineering Industries (NEI) recently won a major British defense order worth more than £50 million to supply its unique Syn- crolift for the shiplift being con- structed in behalf of the Property Service Agency at the Clyde Sub- marine Base, Faslane, Scotland. The contract was awarded to NEI pic and manufacture will start im- mediately. A majority of the work will go to NEI's mechanical han- dling division NEI Clarke Chapman Ltd., at Gateshead, U.K., which will also subcontract to other NEI com- panies. The Syncrolift system, conceived and developed by NEI Syncrolift, a unit of NEI Clarke Chapman Ltd., enables vessels to be lifted straight into and out of the water. At Fas- lane, it will be used to dock Royal Navy submarines including the lat- est Vanguard Class Trident missile submarines. These subs are being built at Barrow where they will be launched on a similar Syncrolift which was completed in December 1986. The new contract will be one of the largest and most important Syn- crolifts installed so far. It will have a lifting capacity of 24,000 tons and will be the 175th Syncrolift built. This unique system is at present installed in 63 countries and serves 32 Navies. J.D. NEUHAUS Circle 98 on Reader Service Card J.D. Neuhaus, a leading manufac- turer of pneumatic hoists, has devel- oped a star handle control for their pneumatic hoists. The handle con- trol offers precise, direct control, even in severe working conditions because the operating element of the control can be positioned to an angle of about 180 degrees to the center line of the motor. The construction of the unit is simple as well as effective, since the hoist is controlled by turning the star handle which, through a rod by means of a flexible hose, directly works onto the control piston in the hoist.
