GRUNDOWINCH® Constant Tension Winch



The Constant Tension Variable Speed Winch

The rugged Grundowinch line of hydrostatic constant-tension winches are specially designed for the variable conditions in below-grade work. All models feature protective cable storage and are available with an air-cooled diesel or gas engine; as well as an adjustable boom system. Portable and powerful, Grundowinch is well-suited for underground utility construction applications including:

  • Pipe Bursting

  • Sliplining

  • Pipe Pulling

  • Underground Cable Pulling

  • Swage Lining




Variable Speed Constant Tension Means More Accurate Winching

The constant-tension design feature of the Grundowinch means any cable slack is immediately sensed and quickly taken up . . . automatically. This makes for an ideal winch for sensitive operations such as swage lining. Permanent documentation of the pull is available in an optional chart recorder that prints out a hard copy of the job's tensions.

Stability and Safety

Firm anchoring is achieved by using the supplied prop legs in front and extended angled legs with "cutting feet" in the rear. Stow-away wheel chocks are included. Boom kits are available for all models and a special swivel pulley incorporated into the chassis allows variable positioning without compromising stability or safety.

Twin Capstan Cable Management System

Grundowinch incorporates a cable management system to ensure the proper care and storage of cables. Its twin capstan design means there is no stress on the cable drum as the cable is layered back in place during use.

Controlled Operation

Control is easy with a number of convenience and operational features such as single-lever tension control (no gears to engage), power assisted winch line feed and winch controls located at the rear of the unit to provide a safe view of the job while operating.
