Forestry winch 70 GK

Continuous innovative development of the ergonomics, safety and efficiency of our forestry machines is our promise to you. Thus, forestry winches and the Terra FA5-D1P UNI remote controller are available in a package deal. More about the Terra FA5-D1P UNI remote control package.

(1) When pulling logs with a tractor, you may encounter some obstacles on the road (hill, roots etc.). If the tractor is not able to overcome these obstacles, the unwinding function can be switched into the mode without the assistance of the unwinding device and you can continue driving with a tight wire rope between the winch and the load. (2) The unwinding device can be turned on and off without delay (the standard model has a 1.5-sec. delay). (3) The SMART 3in1 function ensures additional tension of the wire rope between the unwinding pulley and drum.

This function is only available with the remote controls Teleradio, Terra funk and manual console.

To make the wire rope unwinding easier you can choose a winch with an integrated unwinding device. This type of winch also guarantees a constant tension of the wire rope between the unwinding pulley and the drum, thus preventing damage to the drum or pulley and enabling a longer service life.

AUTO STOP function (limit switch) automatically stops the function of winding the wire rope on the drum. This function prevents mechanical damages of the unwinding device, entanglement and wire rope damages.

The sensor measuring pulling force of the winch is directly installed on the pulling rope to enable precise measurement of the force on the pulling rope. The measured pulling rope force is regulated with the clutch.

Active Force Control is a special pulling force measurement and regulation solution. The pulling force is measured directly on the wire rope and is electronically regulated. Thus, the pulling force does not depend on the wear of the clutch, temperature and humidity, the preload of the wire rope and the amount of wound wire rope on the drum. Thus, the pulling force remains the same at all times, the pulling rope is thinner and consequently longer, and the tractor can be of lower power. A lighter wire rope helps to increase productivity and faster wood harvesting on the one hand and to reduce user fatigue on the other.

The drive consists of a worm gear enabling high gear ratios, and spur gears elements immersed in the oil bath which enables higher efficiency, reduces maintenance costs and increases its life span. The torque from tractor is transited to the worm gear on the winch over a triple-strand roller chain.

The multi-plate clutch prevents overheating/slipping of the clutch (6 plates).

Proportional valve for continuous pressure adjustment.

HAWE electromagnetic control valves with high pressure filter in the control block. Hydraulic components are galvanically corrosion protected. The oil tank is made of stainless steel.
