[TowerTalk] Motorized winch for a crank up tower.

[gregg.w6izt1 at gmail.com]

I am planning on replacing the hand winch with a motorized winch on my
TX-455. The price for the winch from US Tower exceeds my budget. I have seen
a couple of implementations where boat lift winches have been utilized as
tower winches. They seem robust and are easily fitted to the application.


I have also seen where  a winch with a brake such as the Superwinch WINCH2GO

h2go


I'm hoping to get some insight from the folks here on the reflector. Any
help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
