The W6F winch has been on the market nearly 40 years, with thousands of winches still working every day. It has become the unrivaled choice of winch for log skidding in tropical forestry where a rubber-tired machine is inadequate due to the ground conditions and size of logs. The fabricated frame resists the shock loading better than a cast frame, and can be repaired with normal welding. The winch and arch are engineered as a unit to sustain the loads imposed without compromising the winch or arch. Rapid availability of spare parts and close customer support help keep the winch running at peak productivity.
