Mechanical forestry winch BF90H

hydraulictractor mounted

The Balfor forestry winches are available with a wide variety of pulling forces to cater for a huge range of applications. From 3Ton, through to 3.5tons, 4.5 tons, 5.5 tons 7.5 tons and 9Ton, all are fitted with a full width butt plate and window guard as standard. All models from the BF35 (3.5 ton) are equipped with top and lower pulley and from BF45 upward with a tow hitch. All winches are equipped with single or multiple dry clutch disc (depending on model) for a longer life and a smoother engagement. Balfor winches use an automatically locking band brake, with adjustable preload to allow for easy unwinding. The R models have a lower winch in line speed, reduced to 0.6m/s. The H models are electrohydraulic control, for greatly reduced user fatigue, and also allow for an upgrade to a wireless remote control. Also there is the option for a hydraulic cable unwinder on the 7 ton upwards, again reducing operator fatigue for better productivity. All cable are the ‘double flatted’ type, offering greater flexibility, higher strength and greatly reduce the chances of kinking the cable. Overall they have a much longer service life.
