Key Features
-
-
- Honda Gasoline GX270 SXE — 6.3 kW — proven, readily serviced petrol engine; straightforward mechanical drive with no hydraulic system to maintain
- Mechanic direct drive — simple, robust drivetrain with minimal moving parts; easy to operate and maintain on site
- 2,000 daN pulling force in 1st gear — 1,000 daN in 2nd gear; highest 2nd gear pulling force in the mid-size family
- 520 m rope capacity — 8–9 mm rope; dual-speed capstan covers 5–11.9 m/min in 1st gear and 9.8–23.5 m/min in 2nd gear
- Lightest in the mid-size family — 560 kg without rope; easiest to tow and reposition on site
- Dual capstan system — constant speed and force; automatic rope storage via swivelling pulley for low-tension winding regardless of pulling force
- Automatic overload limiter — stops the winch instantly on overload; reverse gear for safe and controlled rope unwinding
- Road-ready trailer — suspension axle and overhanging protective canvas; compact mid-size frame for tight access
-
