3.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The off-road / site use only C-1070 winch has been designed to provide a flexible winching
system capable of operating over a wide range of speeds, loads, and applications.
The winch has grooved double bullwheels to provide superior handling of the pulling bond, whilst
providing a constant tension capability. The pulling bond can be stored on a demountable drum
reel. The drive for this drum operates independently of the bullwheels and provides a nominal
back tension, which will always match the speed of the pulling bond. The winch is fitted with a
semi automatic layering arm, the operator monitors the pulling bond being wound on to the take
drum making manual adjustments when necessary.
This universal winch is ideally suited to ABC erection, 11/33 Kv stringing work, conductor
recovery and underground cable hauling.
The power source is from a petrol engine, which powers the triple mounted hydraulic pumps. These
pumps drive the hydraulic high torque, fixed displacement motor mounted onto the bullwheel drive
gearbox, drum overrun is controlled by the drum drive hydraulic motor and pressure relief valve, the
third hydraulic pump drives the hydraulic oil cooler.
The sealed hydraulic oil tank is fitted with an inlet filler/breather, return and suction filters as well as an
oil level sight glass.
The sturdy steel construction chassis is equipped with manually operated stabilising props to assist
when pulling. The towing equipment consists of braked axles, hydratow unit and jockey wheel.
