Ordinary tow rope winch is used for inland tugs. When the fleet sails in a curved, rapid or buccal channel and the length of the towing rope is to be changed, the towing winch may be activated to receive or release the towing rope. In order to reduce the dynamic load caused by sudden tightening of the towing rope, a buffer is arranged on the belt brake of the winch.

Automatic towing winches are mostly set on marine tugs. When the fleet sails in a rough sea, the towing rope is subjected to severe shocks. If the tension of the towing rope exceeds its permissible value, the automatic winch will automatically release the rope from its drum. When rope is loose, it automatically tightens to the initial length. This task is carried out by means of a dedicated automatic tracking device which is operated by the steering command controller to start the winch to perform the motor drive roller.
