Tower Winch Project

Comments Off on Tower Winch Project

This weekend saw some great weather so I finally added a Goodwinch electric winch to my mobile tower. Oh for an easy life.

I got great service from David at Goodwinch and the delivery was very quick!

I had to manufacture a mount for it out of 6mm stainless steel plate and bolts as the existing winch mount was far too small. I have left the manual winch mounted just in case it is required in the future. Still need to make a weather cover out of sheet aluminium although I doubt strictly necessary.
