Transport your winch from one place to another without hassle with a Trailer Mounted Winch. The Trailer Mounted Winches in our fleet have WLL (Working Load Limits) from 2t – 60t. Learn more…

Often less manoeuvrable but more powerful, Base Mounted Winches need to be secured to a frame before use. Thanks to a WLL (Working Load Limit) ranging from 0.6t – 200t they can be used across various industries including offshore on oil rigs. Learn more…

Able to carry drums with a diameter up to 4600mm and with WLLs (Working Load Limits) of 0.83t – 20t. Drum Trailers can be split into two groups, those that are road going and those that are not. These can then be broken down into single axle or multi axle for heavier loads. Cable Drum Trailers are the simplest method you can use to transport your cable to and from and around the site.
