For the best performance, always use Portable Winch Co. ropes with your winch.
Double braided polyester rope (DBP): the double-braided construction makes it durable and features low stretch for increased safety. The low cost and resistance to abrasion make it a good choice for using with our capstan winches, where it is subject to friction and intense heat.
Ideal to use with the portable capstan winch PCW5000 and PCW5000-HS.

« I own a PCW5000 and wanted a lighter model for hunting. That is why I also bought the PCW3000! Very happy with your products. »
Kevin Cassidy, Durham, Maine, USA
« I purchased this because of a hunting experience and its portability. »

« I needed a remote winch. Thanks. »
Edward Kilmartin, Twain Harte, California, USA
« Love my winch. Use it to pull poly docks out of the water. Just great! »
Tim Ruggerio , Hadley, New York, USA
« We have used the winch for a few weeks now and are very impressed with how it is able to pull out the wood for us. It is a great solution for a wood lot with no access for traditional equipment. »
Paul Begin, Victoria Harbour, Ontario, Canada
« Speed of 26’ per minute (8 m/min) was a key consideration, and not having to "reverse" feed the wire back out. »
Kenneth Hixson, Novi, Michigan, USA
« We needed a winch that we could use for any purpose, anytime, anywhere. »

« As a union electrician in the San Francisco bay area, I feel I am an expert on using winches. Yours is the best I've run. Your company has met and far exceed my expectations! I'm proud to have a tool flying the great maple leaf of the north! »
John Frey, San Francisco, California, USA
« I've used the winch already several times (for pulling charges) and I'm so pleased with it. Easy to use, smooth motor (one pull and it starts), flexible (any length of cable/rope) and I can use it everywhere. I cannot live without it anymore! »
Jan Wouters, Brussels, Belgium
« I bought the PCW3000 2-1/2 years ago for our remote cottage, knowing that I would need it. This weekend (September 2018) we used it. We had a tree blown down and hung up on other trees. It was still attached to the stump. It was dangerously close to a small outbuilding. The winch allowed me to pull the tree off the others and away from the building easily and from a safe distance. We were then able to drag it out and cut it up. I couldn’t be more pleased! »
Peter Jacobs, Toronto, Canada
« We had a great day getting a moose out of super hard to reach spot. It "only" took us 8 hours... But without the Portable Winch we would have got to the cabin totally wasted. Thanks to your great product! »
Martin Bourque, North Eastern, Canada
« Here are a few of the logs we have stacked up using our winch. Most are between 50 and 70 feet long and some are as big as 27" on the stump. I’ve never had a product that impressed me that much in my whole life! I am blown away by this winch! At first, I hesitated about buying the skidding cone, but I am glad I did: it’s the best thing ever! Logs can climb up the pile with the cone on. »
David Wheaton, Mapleton, Maine, USA
« I got a PCW5000 a couple of years ago to help retrieve downed oaks and maples (70 - 80 ft) in a heavily forested area (90%) and a ravine. Wow! Getting trees that would have rotted. The winch let's me pull out downed trees without having to clear areas for my tractor. Hasn't missed a beat in performance and reliability... and I am working this thing! »
