Winch is a stationary motor-driven or hand-powered machine that is used for hoisting or hauling, having a drum around which is wound a rope or chain attached to the load being moved. A hydraulic winch is driven by a hydraulic pump, the fluid pressure coming from a hydraulic Power Pack driven by the main engine or electrical motor.
Hydraulically operated winch is ideal for all types of specialized transport from low-bed operations to wrecker’s equipment and can be set up to operate either singly or in combinations. They are reliable, rugged and built to last with user friendly simple lever operated controls. They are an excellent addition to crawlers, skidders and all-terrain vehicles. The stationary usage is also possible. The hydraulic winches can also be clutch-operated that makes for an easier and safer usage.
