SIDEWINDER 42 INCH CAPSTAN FIBER OPTIC PULLER GMP

The single capstan allows the winch to be placed at the midpoint of a section to assist in the pull, thus enabling longer pulls.

• The Sidewinder’s capstan is angled at 30° to be used to figure 8 the cable

• Controls are operator-friendly and very simple to use. A spring-centered lever controls the direction of rotation of the capstan, while a detented lever engages the take-drum drive. A control knob is used to limit the rope/cable tension using the panel-mounted tension indicator.

• The winch is mounted on a sturdy all-steel, fabricated chassis. It is equipped with torsional suspension axles, stabilizing prop legs, a front telescopic jockey wheel, and a tow bar with a Lunette Ring

• At 1500 lbs., the unit is easily pulled by a standard pickup truck

• The power source is a Commercial grade Honda GX390 gasoline engine

• The engine drives the fixed displacement tandem-mounted hydraulic pumps. One pump powers a hydraulic motor through an in-line planetary gearbox to the capstan, while the second pump drives the rope take-up drum through a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic pump is attached to the engine via a bell housing and flexible coupling.

• The hydraulic oil tank is fitted with double filtration protection, sight glass, and filler/breather

• The rope take-up drum is removable and can be split to enable the removal of the rope. The capstan can be rotated through 90° on a swivel bracket from the inline working position to the transverse transit position when in tow. When the winch is in working mode, the rear props are extended out of the chassis to provide greater stability.
