The towing winch has proven to be a valuable asset for helping keep mining operations moving despite the physical challenges. Allied is the only winch manufacturer to offer a choice of PTO-driven winch or hydraulic winch for the large crawler dozers from Caterpillar and Dressta. The PTO-driven winch offers the highest peak line pull in the industry, and it has the fastest line speed under load. The corresponding hydraulic winches are built with the same frame and gear train as their PTO-driven counterparts, a design that has been proven over decades.
