The T-WINCH traction winch is a versatile external device that can be used wherever unassisted machine movement poses a high risk to both operators and equipment. It is primarily designed to enhance operator safety while minimizing soil impact. It is ideally suited for demanding conditions such as steep or hard-to-access terrain, where it enables safer and more efficient operation of harvesters and forwarders. By using the T-WINCH traction winch, overall safety is improved and soil damage is significantly reduced, as machines are not required to generate excessive traction on their own.
Timber harvesting with a traction winch is an efficient method for operating in challenging terrain such as steep slopes or wetlands. The process begins with positioning the winch on a stable location. The harvester or forwarder is then secured with the winch cable and gradually lowered down the slope. The traction winch is equipped with a cable length of up to 500 meters. Once the harvesting line has been fully processed, the machine is pulled back up the slope using the winch.
This method minimizes soil damage and significantly improves operational safety.
