Plumettaz TL 2019 DR-730 Mechanic Capstan Winch Trailer
The Plumettaz TL 2019 DR-730/8 is a Honda petrol mechanic trailer-mounted capstan winch for underground telecommunications and power cable laying in pre-installed ducts, open trenches, and subducting operations. Delivers 2,000 daN pulling force in 1st gear and 1,000 daN in 2nd gear with 730 m of 8–9 mm rope. Powered by a Honda Gasoline GX270 SXE engine at 6.3 kW. Identical to the TL 2019 DR-520/8 in all specifications except rope capacity — 730 m versus 520 m — making it the better choice for longer cable runs. Dual capstan system, automatic overload limiter, and automatic rope storage as standard.
More Information
The Plumettaz TL 2019 DR-730/8 is the longer-rope variant of the TL 2019 mechanic capstan winch — identical drive, identical pulling force, 40% more rope. The straightforward choice when your runs exceed 520 m.
Key Features
-
-
- 730 m rope capacity — 8–9 mm rope; 210 m more than the TL 2019 DR-520/8 for longer cable laying runs without repositioning
- 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
- Dual-speed capstan — 5–11.9 m/min in 1st gear and 9.8–23.5 m/min in 2nd gear; pay-out at up to 0–80 m/min
- 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; mid-size frame for site flexibility
-
