Air-Powered Winch

The TA10 Big Red Series air winch has been designed for improved performance by incorporating a high capacity air motor into the unit which provides higher line pull capacity while maintaining faster line speeds. Performance ratings include first layer and full drum load capacities of 37,000 and 21,800 lb along with a maximum line speed of 34 fpm. Among its many design changes, the new series incorporates reversible band brake and disc brake assemblies and an innovative revolving cable anchor. The cable anchor accommodates wire rope diameters ranging from ¾ inch to 1 ¼ inch and facilitates winding of wire rope from either direction. www.thern.com
