You want to be prepared for every recovery, but don't want to permanently fit a winch to your vehicle? Then the new mobile Winch Box from horntools is exactly the right thing for you.
Using the Winch Box
Mobile winch use:
Using the included straps and shackles, the Winch Box can easily be used on the move. To do this, wrap the rear strap around a tree or attach it to a suitable anchor point. Then fix the two loops to the rear shackles of the portable base plate. Always make sure that the straps do not come into contact with sharp edges or hot surfaces.
Fixed mounting - mounting with four screws:
The Winch Box can be permanently mounted to a surface using the four outer screw holes of the mounting plate. To withstand the pulling forces, the mounting plate should have a minimum thickness of 6 mm (1/4 inch). Make sure that the structure you are attaching it to is strong enough to withstand these forces. When mounting with four screws, the winch rope can be attached back to the front shackle for doubling up.
Fixed mounting - mounting with two screws:
For this configuration, set the winch to freespool and unwind enough rope from the drum to place the steel reinforcement plate underneath, if it was not already fitted during mounting. For the construction to withstand the pulling forces, the mounting plate should be at least 6 mm (1/4 inch) thick. Make sure the mounting structure can withstand these loads. Once mounting and wiring are complete, the rope can be rewound onto the drum using the motor control.
Mobile winch for trailers & boat trailers
The Winch Box is also perfectly suited as a portable winch for trailers or boat trailers. The accessories stored in the robust box are protected from all weather.
Mobile hunting winch
The Winch Box is also perfectly suited for hunters as a mobile winch. The compact box fits in any boot - whether Dacia Duster, Suzuki Jimny, or Land Rover Defender. With the Winch Box, game can be pulled to or into the vehicle.
