A hydraulic winch designed to provide reliable and safe lifting operations for tower and mast erection for the electricity or telecommunications industries. Winching is controlled via a proportional hydraulic valve giving the operator precise control over the load when needed or high speed if necessary.
A variable displacement pump automatically regulates flow to prevent engine stall, leaving the operator to concentrate on the winching operation. A secondary 500kg capstan operated via a footswitch is fitted to aid the positioning of load if necessary.
Power is supplied by a 4 cylinder water cooled Perkins diesel engine fitted in an acoustic enclosure for reduced noise. Power on demand is also utilised to further reduce noise levels when the winch is not operating.
