Hi Wizzer AKA. Charlie
I have been using an AB Chance 110V 15 amp T308 3000 lb Capstan winch.
IMO I have a Greenlee Wire Tugger to start, but bought ane AB chance
Capstan winch.
I made a aluminum channel with a dual chain quick attachment for R-20,& 25
R45,55 and R 65 and AB105. One great accessory was the WX rubber foot switch
works well as is when installing tower sections, BUT for traming Antenna's
using tow 100 ft. extension cables gave you the ability to adjust the tag line
while also operating the winch assent .
I am no knowledge of the unit you made reference to.... just know these AB
Chance are a industry standard. and mine has served me well and raised
100's of sections of tower in it's life.
Another duty I used it for I built an adaptor for a 2" truck receiver hitch.
and use it tp PULL hardline ,coax and control line through tubes...... Easy
Peezy with Kelvin Grips and LOTS of pulling LUBE.
Check out industrial sales Ebay ect .

Subject: [TowerTalk] Your experience with rope capstan hoists or winches
Hi Mates !
I've been looking at products to assisting with tower section raising (uo
to 55G) and antenna raising (up to 48ft boom). Having never used a rope
winch, I researched rope capstan winches & rope capstan hoists. They are
available inexpensively and expensively. They are available with chainsaw
mounts or with DC motors.
I found these three electric units that would meet my station work need. By
the time you mount them up, wire them in, your looking at close to $1000.
Share your experience and wisdom.
thanks
