Wyeth-Scott Hand Winch - 1.8 - 3.6 tonne with AmSteel®Blue Synthetic Rope

1.8 - 3.6 tonne version of the The More Power Puller®. Primary difference to the 2.7 - 5.4 tonne version is a shorter length of rope and lower pulling capacity, however lighter in weight and cheaper in cost with an extra safety margin.

Overview

The More Power Puller® has been manufactured by The Wyeth-Scott Company in the USA since 1934. It is the safest and most durable cable puller/come along/hand winch ever made.

This heavy-duty industrial portable ratchet puller/hoist is not a typical light weight puller that would break after one or two uses. It has been designed and proven to perform in a variety of demanding environments without bending, breaking or collapsing. This will last the test of time, but should repeated abuse, wear and tear require  replacement parts, many are available to ensure the original puller can continue operating long into the future.  

Safety

• Safety handle bends to prevent failure at load capacity
• Extension handle (sold separate) can slip into safety handle, to halve winching effort with more leverage
• Twin 'pawls' allow winch to be released under very high tension/load.
• Synthetic rope stores little energy in-case of very unlikely failure (unlike steel cable hand winches). 

Material

The components are made of solid, thick iron - not aluminum. This model available is a 1.8 tonne single line pull, or 3.6 tonne double line pull when using the supplied hook/pully. The rope is AmSteel®Blue, which  is a synthetic rope that is stronger than cable, but so light that it floats. This is not your typical poly rope - the average strength is 6.2 tonnes!  It has much less energy and weight than steel cable, so any breakages minimise winch operator risk.

Some rusting will occur as paint wears away. Greasing and oiling will help manage this. This will not effect the winch operation. 

Applications

This synthetic rope is safer for many activities - hauling out stuck 4WD vehicles, pulling trees, moving heavy objects, straining posts, pulling boats up beaches etc.

All up, the complete setup weighs less than 10.3 kg and can be stored easily in a small box or bag.
