Hydraulic timber winches

Hydraulic timber winches can be mounted on any excavator, normally on the boom with a large diameter drum to accommodate long pulls. They are easily operated from the cab and do not interfere with the operation of the excavator.

Hydraulic recovery winches

Hydraulic recovery winches are normally mounted on the front of a tractor or excavator to aid recovery in boggy conditions. Used before the machine sinks too far they are a very efficient way of staying on top and keeping the job going. We have fitted these to harvesters working alone, tractors for mulching and tractors for fencing contractors.
