incorporates three basic winch sizes including large OTW, medium MTW, and small
STW winches. All the winches within this family have the same characteristic
formed plate design and compact shape. Similarly, they all contain cable guide
sheaves in their levelwind assemblies that can be instrumented for measurement
of cable parameters such as line tension and scope. Winches in all three size
categories can be acquired with standard and optional features such as integral
or separate Hydraulic Power Units. Additionally, each of the three categories
can be acquired with a variety of cable storage capacities, line pulls, line
speeds and horsepower.
