[TowerTalk] Fulton Winch Covers

[Wayne Kline]

Hi Don,


I agree there are no at least  know to me any dust WX covers for vertical mounted winches.


The best I have come up with  are https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007JMOSAA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use an ALL plastic bungee cord to secure it to the 2500 type winches.     as for the vertical cable  ARGGGGG  I use  a Granger  Chain/wire rope  lubricant .

Subject: [TowerTalk] Fulton Winch Covers

Have used bags and other similar methods over the years to cover the winches on older tilt-over fixtures I had and those on both my WT-51 and HG-70HD crankup towers but would really like to find something more durable and that can accommodate the cable coming vertically from the winch.

Did an exhaustive internet search and found nothing. Talked to Fulton and they are not aware of any commercially available cover either.

Seems that someone is missing a market opportunity, maybe not large but large enough.

Anyone come up with any good protective cover ideas for mounted Fulton K-1550, K2501/K-2550 winches having the vertical cable to them?
