Winch

Whether in use on steep slopes or moving large volumes of snow: the 4.0 ton winch is the perfect complement to the PistenBully 400 for big challenges on the mountain. The tailor-made winch attachment system with five mounting points facilitates quick and easy installation and removal.

The technology of the PistenBully 4.0 ton winch has inherent advantages

Four tons of pulling force (4.4 ton US), 1,050 meters of rope, and an extremely robust gearbox. The PistenBully winch maintains a constant pulling force that does not vary between first wrap and last. The “action” radius between the two multi groove capstan pulleys is constant regardless of how much rope is on the drum. The entire winch assembly is mounted on a turret that rotates 360°. This eliminates the need to monitor or compensate for rope twist on turnarounds. The operator never has to worry about sequencing his turnarounds to the left and right. The active boom winch control that comes standard also ensures the optimum steering capability of the machine in difficult snow conditions. Selected steering parameters can be modified to accommodate the snow and slope conditions. The low-wear winch system and the high durability of the gear wheels and shaft bearings ensure long and safe usage with a low maintenance requirement.
