Description

These winches are specifically designed to haul cable through ducts and use a double bull-wheel configuration with storage reel. The proportional hydraulic system is diesel driven with electric start. The winches are fully self-contained and can be supplied with container locks for fixing to the tray of a flat-top truck. They are also provided with lifting points for easy loading and unloading.

The units are provided with either manual controls or can be provided with radio control.

The winches are provided with 13mm Andromeda non-rotating plaited wire pulling rope or alternatively can be provided with fibre rope. Standard configuration holds 600 metres of rope. The bull wheel winch can be preset for line tension between 0 and 35kN and maintain the line pull at a constant for the entire pull.

As an option, bull wheel winches can be provided with a special rotation fairlead. This fairlead gives the ability of rotary pull at any angle into the bull-wheel winch.

Construction of the bull wheel winch is designed for outdoor use featuring hot dip galvanized frame, all components are powdercoated, the power pack is enclosed in a lockable weatherproof cubicle with sound insulation to give maximum operator protection with sound emitting at no more than 85 dBa at operator’s ear. All electrical equipment is IP65 or better.
