35kN Bull Wheel Winch – Trailer mount - steinmetzindustrialsystems

Description

These winches are specifically designed to haul cable through ducts and use a double bull-wheel configuration with storage reel. The proportional hydraulic system is diesel driven with electric start. The units are provided with manual controls.

The trailer is of heavy-duty construction featuring hot dip galvanized frame, single axle with Landcruiser wheels. The trailer is provided with 2 rear mount jacklegs and special hydraulically operated fairlead which can be driven down to line up with the trench the cable is to be pulled through. This fairlead wheel has a slight adjustment of approx. +/- 10° which means that the trailer does not have to be lined up perfectly with the trench for the pulling process.

The trailer has a maximum laden weight of 2500kg and can be pulled behind a Landcruiser or small truck. Trailer design fully complies with Australian Standards and Australian Design Rules.

The winches are provided with 12mm Andromeda non-rotating plaited wire pulling rope or alternatively can be provided with fibre rope. Standard configuration holds 500 metres of rope. The bull wheel winch can be preset for line tension between 0 and 35kN and maintain the line pull at a constant for the entire pull.

Construction of the bull-wheel winch is designed for outdoor use featuring hot dip galvanized frame, all components are powdercoated , the power pack is enclosed in a lockable weatherproof cubicle with sound insulation to give maximum operator protection with sound emitting at no more than 85 dBa at operator’s ear. All electrical equipment is IP65 or better.
