The Allied H8L winch extends the widely accepted design of the H6H winch to the next class of crawler dozers. The H8L winch is an essential adjunct to dozers operating in rough-terrain conditions where uptime is key to success and the winch is fundamental to maintaining mobility under any conditions. The H8L winch brings together the best of field-proven engineering and modern hydraulic capability to deliver a winch unrivaled in this size class. With precise control over line speed and line position, the H8L winch allows the dozer to take on new challenges that would have been near impossible for a PTO-driven winch, such as in positioning of pipe and pipelaying equipment and in delicate mining operations where precise placement is required.
