Lightweight, portable, gas-powered winch, with 2500 lb (1136 kg) pulling capacity. If you ever need to bring down hung-up trees, pull out-of-reach logs, get a vehicle un-stuck, or haul a moose out of the bush or water, the Portable Winch^TM is for you. Weighing only 33 lb (15 kg), the Portable Winch^TM is easily carried and can be anchored to anything using the 6' (1.83 m) long sling provided or the hitch plate for vehicles.

Use the Portable Winch^TM with any length of low stretch rope. We offer double-braided polyester rope in lengths of 100' (30.5 m), 300' (91.5 m) and 600' (183 m). The rope is tied to the object to be moved and wound three times around the capstan drum. When the engine is running, the capstan rotates continuously and the friction created by pulling on the free end of the rope pulls the object. Load will move at a speed from 25 to 40 feet/minute (7.6 to 12 meters/minute), depending on the weight of the load.

The 2500 lb (1136 kg) pulling capacity of the Portable Winch^TM compares with the biggest ATV electric winches but offers more advantages:

• Portability (anchors to any tree or stump)
• 100% duty cycle (vs. 20% duty cycle for electric winches)
• Constant pulling power (standard winches are rated for 1st layer pull)
• Unlimited rope length
• No kinks, pig tails or barbs on rope

This receiver hitch is ideal to attach the winch to your vehicle. Its 2'' (50 mm) square tubing fits perfectly in Category III hitch receivers. Cushioned winch support plate pivots 45 degrees on either side, making the winch stable and self-aligning with the load.

Fits square receiver of 2'' (50 mm)
Weight: 15 lb (6.8 kg)

Tree/pole mount with rubber pads, anchor strap 75 mm wide x 3 m long (3'' x 9.8'). This anchor system allows you to firmly attach the winch on a tree or a post which makes it easier for working from one point for extended periods of time. The winch can therefore be installed at a more confortable height and the pivoting support aligns the winch automatically with the load. To use it, you will need the receiver hitch winch anchor for 50 mm (2'') square tubing (PCA-1262).

Tree/Pole minimal diameter: 12'' (30 cm)
Tree/Pole maximum diameter: 36'' (91 cm) with the 9.8' (3 m) sling included

The self-locking pulley is designed for rescue operations. It features a brake cam system which allows the rope to go through freely in one direction and blocks it in the other direction. The spring-loaded cam can be disengaged by pulling a release cord. When used in a system (with a matching double pulley), it can give you 4:1 mechanical advantage. Both 3" (75 mm) diameter aluminum pulleys are mounted on self-lubricating bushings and stainless steel axles. The swing sides and the main plate are also made of anodized aluminum.

Minimum break strength: 12 000 lb (53.6 kN)
CE and NFPA certified
For ropes from 3/8'' to 1/2'' (10 mm to 13 mm)
Weight: 2.5 lb (1 kg)

The swing-side snatch block features a lightweight 4'' (100 mm) diameter deep groove aluminum sheave, with stainless steel plates that swing open to install rope. Sintered bronze bushing on stainless steel shaft provides 98% efficiency. Particularly useful for use when doubling the line, the rope cannot accidentally come out of the block. Use the steel locking carabiner to anchor to a polyester sling.

Minimum break strength: 10 000 lb (44 kN)
Weight: 2.5 lb (1.14 kg)

For extra heavy loads, you can multiply the winch power using pulleys. This double pulley features the same aluminum and stainless steel construction as our PCA-1274 with two 4'' (100 mm) diameter deep groove aluminum sheave. Using one double pulley (positioned at the load) with a single pulley, you can triple the pulling power of the winch to 7500 lb (3400 kg). With two double pulleys, an amazing 10000 lb of force can be exerted on a load!

Minimum break strength: 25000 lb (110 kN)
Weight: 4.4 lb (2 kg)

Use the locking carabiner to anchor the swing side snatch block or as an anchor for doubling the rope. Nickel plated with anodized aluminum screw gate lock.

High Performance Polyethylene (HPPE) are among the worlds strongest fibers. HPPE ropes have been used in marine and industrial applications for years; we now offer HPPE chokers to replace choker-chains. Made of 3/8'' (9.5 mm) diameter HPPE rope with 15000 lb (6800 kg) minimum breaking strength, they are extremely strong, durable, and lightweight. Three links of 1/4'' (6 mm) chain and a 12'' (30 cm) metal rod at one end make it easy to install and provide an anchor point for a grab hook. A spliced eye at the other end is used to 'choke' the log. A true pleasure to work with, well worth the extra money.

A spark arrestor will prevent carbon deposit from being ejected from the engine and igniting a fire. Spark arrestors are mandatory on some public lands. Please check local regulations. Easily installed with #2 Phillips screwdriver.

The corner block lets you change the line pull direction of a log to avoid obstacles or to position it parallel to the trail. The corner block is therefore very useful with the Portable Winch^TM to get some lift on the rope or to double your line (and power). Use it with the pulley facing down for best results.

Makes it easy to attach a polyester rope or a chain-choker to an ATV. Fits over 1 7/8" or 2" (47 mm or 50 mm) ball hitch. Slide the pulling plate over your ball hitch, and fasten your load to it quickly and securely. Attach your rope to the 2" (50 mm) post using the clove hitch, or insert a link of chain into the slotted plate to pull your load. Pulling from the axle level provides the safest pulling point on your ATV. Use the capstan knot to do it.

Fits over 1-7/8" or 2" (47 mm or 50 mm) ball hitch

Installs on all types of luggage racks (ATV or others). May be bolted to any flat surface. Lets you wind and unwind rope easily and quickly, without tangling.

An ingenious device for releasing the rope from the pulley to allow a log to ‘turn’ into the trail. Depending on the distance the anchor tree is from the trail, you may adjust the automatic release to make the rope slip out of the pulley at the appropriate moment. Simply turn the chain link one-half turn around the rope and insert it into the metal cartridge. Ideal to use with an ATV when you don’t want to stop in the middle of the operation.
