About the machine

2x90 GKX professional forestry winch is a double drum winch with a constant pulling force of 85 kN on each drum. This first double-drum three-point-linkage professional winch with a constant pulling force offers the widest combination of functions and features for the most demanding forestry workers. An unwinding device with a strong hydraulic motor and features such as AutoStop, Active Force Control, and proportional brake ensures safe and fully controlled log skidding. The winch body is constructed with durable materials. The butt plate is reinforced thanks to the high-quality materials and together with the foldable window guard protects the tractor. All vital components of the winch are safely stored in an all-around protected but easily accessible hydraulic block.

An extra-large drum capacity enables more wound wire rope. PTO attachment is positioned conveniently for the cardan shaft to be easily connected, and the center of gravity is lower to protect the tractor from lifting. For easy work, there are large chocker-chain storage areas on the front of the winch, to protect the equipment from dirt.  To facilitate the manipulation and stacking of logs, there are also models with a hydraulic hinged butt plate available.

Standard:

  • Active Force Control (constant pulling force)
  • Proportional brake
  • Unwinding device with a powerful hydraulic motor
  • AUTO STOP function (limit switch)
  • Maxi drums with independent hydraulic systems
  • Wire rope speed adjusting valve
  • Insight into system and function pressures with easy access
  • Large and conveniently positioned storage spaces
  • The choker chain department is partially open and accessible from the above
  • Strong and wide butt plate
  • Foldable window guard for good winch protection

Option:

  • Hydraulic-hinged butt plate
Unwinding device and AUTO STOP

Unwinding device and AUTO STOP

An integrated unwinding device makes the wire rope unwinding easier and guarantees a constant tension of the wire rope between the unwinding pulley and the drum, thus preventing damage to the drum or pulley and enabling a longer service life.

AUTO STOP function (limit switch) automatically stops the function of winding the wire rope on the drum. This function prevents mechanical damages of the unwinding device, entanglement and wire rope damages.

Adjustable Opening Time and Braking Force with a Proportional Brake

While the classic brake can be only set to the nominal braking force of the winch, the proportional valve allows the user to adjust the braking force with a remote controller to any value up to the maximum braking force of a winch.

Adjustable braking force (progressive brake system) ensures that the wire rope can be unwound in a controlled way without the unwinding device, provided that sufficient pulling force is applied to the rope between the winch and the load.

Active Force Control

Active Force Control

Active Force Control is a special pulling force measurement and regulation solution. The pulling force is measured directly on the wire rope and is electronically regulated. Thus, the pulling force does not depend on the wear of the clutch, temperature and humidity, the preload of the wire rope and the amount of wound wire rope on the drum. Thus, the pulling force remains the same at all times, the pulling rope is thinner and consequently longer, and the tractor can be of lower power. A lighter wire rope helps to increase productivity and faster wood harvesting on the one hand and to reduce user fatigue on the other.

Drive
Drive

The drive consists of a worm gear enabling high gear ratios, and spur gears elements immersed in the oil bath which enables higher efficiency, reduces maintenance costs and increases its life span. The torque from tractor is transited to the worm gear on the winch over a triple-strand roller chain.

6-plate clutch
6-plate clutch

The multi-plate clutch prevents overheating/slipping of the clutch (6 plates).

Sensor
Sensor

The sensor measuring pulling force of the winch is directly installed on the pulling rope to enable precise measurement of the force on the pulling rope. The measured pulling rope force is regulated with the clutch.

Remote control

“The hydraulic system installed on this winch allows us to pull with one drum, or even with both together. The hydraulic control unit and the electric control unit communicate with each other via sensors, allowing us to have a constant pulling force with one drum of up to 8,5 T while when pulling with both drums simultaneously we can reach a pulling force of 10 T.”
