Rotec have been working with the Utility market for the last 20 years – designing and manufacturing winch systems for overhead line teams throughout the UK. Traditional vehicles such as landrovers were deemed the work horse and industry standard. Working with a number of organisation the challenge to replace the landrover centred on certain replacement vehicles – such as the Isuzu DMAX.
The bespoke system includes the following:
- Electro-hydraulic PTO (Power Take Off) for the pump
- Custom designed hydraulic manifold assembly, which uses an electronic proportional directional control valve
- Dual pressure control which allows for pressure selection
- Custom made hydraulic reservoir
- Custom electronic control system, including a remote pendant with joystick control as well as a 2nd joystick located in the cab
- Integrated electronic hand throttle for the engine
- Quality winch and Parker hydraulic hose supplied with pressure test certification which can be traced throughout the Parker network using PTS system
The system operates in two work modes:
- Lifting mode: capable of lifting up to 1550 Kg (SWL)
- Self – recovery: capable of pulling 3600 Kg
The bespoke system is designed and manufactured completely in-house, fully – tested prior to despatch.
