The Sherrilltree Portable Gas-Powered Winch is a reliable equipment used by arborists for heavy pulling and lifting during rigging procedures. This machine can be used with low stretch, 3/8" to 1/2" high-quality working line (stable braid rope construction is recommended), and can easily be anchored to a tree, truck or any effective anchorage for pulling. It can offer 2,200 lbs of force if used on a single line, and can increase up to 5,000 lbs. of force when the line is doubled and a pulley is added to the targeted load, making it a highly-efficient mechanical device perfect for day-to-day work.
Heavy-Duty Construction: This Portable Winch comes with a 50-cc (2.5 hp), 4-cycle Honda motor, that powers a 3-stage 110:1 ratio gearbox, making the capstan drum of the winch rotate to about 20-40 ft per minute, depending on its usage - 20ft/minute for doubled winch line, and 40ft/minute for single line. It can easily be operated by simply starting the engine, connect and anchor it to a winch line of choice or a hitch plate with the help of its hooks, and wrapping the towline to the capstan drum of the engine. It comes with several certifications, making it safe and reliable to use by professionals.
