New Towing Carrousel Causes a Stir

One of the most interesting technical innovations to be introduced to the towage industry at ITS 2002, and one that has progressed since the conference, was undoubtedly the Carrousel Towing System, a revolutionary patented towing connection. A towing connection mounted on a completely circular track, the so called Carrousel is a concept originating from a joint project initiated by Dr Markus van der Laan of IMC in the Netherlands, towing gear manufacturer Mampaey, and tugowner Multraship.
