A winch is a machine specifically designed for harvesting wood in forests, which is capable of efficiently hauling logs to a target location in a forest environment. Consisting of basic components such as a welded frame, transmission components, a roller with wire rope, a clutch, brakes and a directional pulley, the winch hauls logs to the formwork by using wire rope and attaches them to grooves on the winch frame. The logs can then be transported to places accessible by other means of transport.
As the right-hand man of forestry operations, the winch is able to haul and hang logs efficiently in the forest through its powerful hauling capacity and reliable wire rope system. Its use not only improves the work efficiency, but also reduces the manual labor of workers, and brings great convenience and benefits to the forest cutting industry.
