HAND WINCH PWB ANCHOR |
|
| We have been selling and renting this winch for over 10 years now and have found it to be of dependable quality and very good value for money. Ideal for four wheel drivers the winch has a lifting capacity of 1.6 tones and a pulling capacity of 2.4 tones. The winch has an alloy body weighing only 17 kgs; the cable and reeler weight 13 kgs. The cable is 20 metres in length. A two piece handle operates the levers for both forward and reverse operation. A very flexible piece of mechanical equipment with the ability to pull the vehicle forwards, backwards and even sidewards if necessary. The winch is sheer pinned. | |

WINCH EXTENSION STRAP |
|
| Winch extension straps are made in lengths of between 5 metres to 30 metres and give you much more flexibility in a winching exercise where the obstacle (i.e. the tree) the winch is to be anchored to is farther away than the 20 metre winch cable can reach. These straps are easier to shorten than lengthen so go for a 30 metre strap giving the length of an Olympic swimming pool for you to find a tree of good stature to winch from. A 30 metre strap with a 4,500 kgs minimum breaking strain and reinforced loops is ideal. | |
| • | Price $90.00 including GST |
WINCH BLOCK |
|
| A very useful piece of equipment to be used in conjunction with a hand or power winch. A clock in the equation can change the direction of the ‘winching pull” or halve the effort that is being put into the winching exercise (doubling the recovery time). | |
| • | Price $50.00 including GST |
TREE PROTECTOR |
|
| Well gone are the days of putting chains or winch cables around trees; the tree protector is a 3 metre long non elasticised piece of webbing to secure the winch to the tree or rock (the anchor) | |
| • | Price $50.00 including GST |
AIR COMPRESSOR |
|
| The Volcano Air Compressor is ideal for inflating/adjusting your tyre pressures during periodical checking (once a week) or inflating after your 4x4 adventure in wet slippery conditions or on the sand. This compressor connects direct to the battery and with the air line connected will inflate your 4x4 tyres from say 18psi (sand pressure) to 30psi (unloaded road pressure) in under 2 minutes. Equipped with a thermal cut out to stop overheating and tyre gauge, the compressor is compact to store in you vehicle and of robust construction. | |
| • | Price $200.00 including GST |
TYRE GAUGE |
|
| A good tyre gauge is mandatory for your 4x4 whether you go off road or not. Tyre pressures should be checked weekly (ideally when cold) on road and daily off road (inspection also). The gauge can read to 60psi and comes with a reset button and carry case. | |
