WH411Y
The WH411Y winch extends the WH400 design to meet the requirements of an excavator-mounted yarder winch. The major enhancements are in a significantly expanded wire rope capacity due to the widened drum and higher line speed using a variable-displacement hydraulic motor. The freespool clutch is based on powershift technology, which allows the winch to shift into and out of freespool on the fly and under load, which permits the yarder carriage to travel downhill by gravity and to be stopped where needed. This feature minimizes excavator fuel consumption.
