Marine

The marine industry demands corrosion-resistant, heavy-duty equipment for boat launches, dock operations, and vessel recovery. Pierce Arrow Inc. offers hydraulic winches rated up to 50,000 lbs for hauling boats and barges, along with industrial electric winches for marina and shipyard use. Our Lodar wireless controls enable safe remote operation around water, and our full hydraulic component line supports custom marine equipment builds.

Hydraulic Winches

Marine operations demand high-capacity hydraulic winches for hauling boats onto trailers at ramps, pulling vessels in and out of dry dock, positioning barges, and anchoring in commercial operations. Hydraulic drive provides the sustained, high-load pulling power that marine environments demand — salt water, continuous duty, and loads that shift unpredictably as boats come out of the water. The range from 10,000 to 50,000 lbs covers everything from large recreational boat ramps to commercial marine yards. The narrow drum option fits tighter transoms and mounting spaces on marine trailers.

Electric Winches

Electric winches handle marine applications where hydraulic infrastructure isn’t practical — dock-side pulling, boat lift operations, and shore-based hauling. The 110V winch runs off standard marina power for stationary installations at docks and lifts. The 12,500 lb electric unit handles trailer-mounted and mobile applications where battery or generator power is available but hydraulic lines are not.

Controls & Remotes

Marine operators need to control equipment from a distance — standing on a dock while a boat winches onto a trailer, positioned at the bow while a lift operates, or on deck while shore-side equipment runs. Wireless remotes eliminate the need to be at the power unit during operation. The 10-function Lodar system handles the complex multi-circuit setups on commercial marine equipment where an operator needs to control winches, lifts, valves, and auxiliary functions from a single weatherproof transmitter.

Hydraulic Power Units

Hydraulic power units run the winches, lifts, and deck equipment used in marine operations. The 2-way power up / power down unit provides controlled operation in both directions — important when lowering boats on cradles or controlling descent on marine lifts where gravity alone could be dangerous. The 4-way pump handles multi-circuit setups common on commercial marine equipment, where winch, lift, and auxiliary functions all run off one power source.

Industrial Winches

The industrial hydraulic winch serves mid-range marine pulling duties — positioning boats in maintenance bays, pulling equipment along docks, and running anchor or mooring lines in smaller commercial marine operations. The industrial mount and drum configuration handles the horizontal pulling and positioning work that’s common in marina and boatyard operations.
