[TowerTalk] 120V AC Electric Winch

[Ed Wolf]

I used the winch from "superwinch"
Whatever you use, IT HAS to have the braking capability to hold the
tower UP! You will be hard pressed to find any mfgr. to give the
complete specs/details if you tell them what you want it for.
Liabilities and all that. there is descriptions and pics on my web site.
Hope? it helps?

I have been looking for an AC winch to drive my HDX-555 Crank Up. Aside from
the $1,500.00 US Tower Solution, I have seen an AC winch advertised in the
Glen Martin Engineering Catalog that looks like it might do the job.  The
cost is under $600.00 and the 4000 lb capacity should be adequate for the
HDX-555. The problem that I am having is that whenever  I request detailed
specs and mounting dimensions from GM, I only get capacity and cost; which
is what the catalog already shows. Does anyone on the reflector know the
details of this winch? Did Glen Martin have it at Dayton this year? I would
be interested in getting additional information if it is available.

Thanks for the help. 73, Mark...
