Thompson Winches

Tiger
Heavy Duty, General Utility Winch

The Thompson Tiger is a heavy duty, general utility winch. Designed to meet the exacting standards of industry today, the Tiger is perfect for all types of cable pulling, overhead line and tower work.

The Tiger is powered by a twin cylinder 15 horse power, water cooled diesel engine, driving tandem hydraulic pumps. infinitely variable speeds are achieved via the proportional directional control valve.

The Tiger comes in three models: haulage, with a de-clutchable drum and single auto - failsafe brake; lifting, with additional auto-failsafe band brake; and man-rider, with dual auto failsafe brakes and 10:1 factor of safety.

The winching system is mounted on a fully galvanised chassis base and fitted with overrun brakes, towing and lighting systems, in accordance with the current EEC regulations. As standard the system is totally enclosed within a glass reinforced plastic, lockable canopy.

To provide stability during cable pulling operations, the Tiger has rear drop-down spades and kick down jacks.
