Versatile Towing Solutions

We are constantly striving to provide new and innovative tow equipment for free flight enthusiasts and this is our latest creation.  This one was developed base on feedback from instructors and clubs around the world who don’t have the expansive desert roads that hydraulic tow winches (read:3500′-4000′ tows) are well suited for.  Instead, we decided to build this unit for those who have somewhat limited space and focus on stationary towing and shorter payout tows…which evidently is a pretty large majority of the folks around the world.  As a result, this unit is equipped with a 13hp Honda engine for a little extra power in stationary towing and utilizes a friction based payout function.  It comes equipped with 3000′ of spectra and a calibrated line tension monitor that operates in both payout and pay-in modes.  The stationary side of things is based on the proven technology already being used on our winches and is commercial grade quality suitable for PG and HG school use.  Although we will never get rid of hydraulic based units for our bigger winches for super high tows,  the friction based unit has proven to be very well suited for shorter payouts to about 1500′ agl.   This winch has no overheating, jerking, etc. commonly associated with friction based units and the tension is remotely controllable from the cab of the vehicle which is a huge safety improvement over those which are designed to be set based on pilot weight beforehand.  All of this in a convenient hitch mount package and quality that you would expect from us…cause we use them all the time.  Now in production!!
