Eder powerwinch for hire in Cumbria

[Ledburyjosh]

Hi,

 

I am hiring an Eder power winch 1800 and myself out in Cumbria.

It is a petrol portable capstan winch with an 1800kg pull for assisted fells or extracting.

 

I am also good at climbing and felling, so with myself and the winch, I'm hoping it will be a useful combo, with setting lines, removing any branches to help the fell etc.

I will Have a couple of lines for the winch, the longest being 100m, so it will have a decent range on it.

 

The rate is £250 per day, for myself, rigging gear and winch. Depending on where the job travel costs may need to be discussed also.  

 

If you would like to know any more info or discuss then do let me know.

Curious to know: does the Elder 1800 have a planetary gearbox? It's got high and low gear settings, right? Just looking at pictures of it, it (appears) to not use the bulky oil filled reduction box that the other portable winches have.

 

If this is so, as I suspect, how does it work with lubrication? Do you have to lube the planetary gear regularly? The oil bath reductions on the Hondas etc dissipate heat, but a planetary gear is more compact, not really built for constant duty cycle, I would have thought. Interested to discuss this.

The manual states the gearbox is permanently lubed from the factory.

 

I'm unsure on the technical term for the type of gear box it has.

 

The only maintenance it suggests regarding lube is on moving parts like the throttle mechanism.

 

I shall get the manual tomorrow and confirm I've remembered correctly

 

Yes it has 2 gears 12m/s = 1800kg and 24m/s = 900kg

 

The main selling points on this one for me were it's 1800kg capacity and the throttle mechanism. It's great for felling, you can pretension the line, the tension is held with the machine idling ready to go.

An Eder is definitely on my wish list, anyone here know if they make their own engines or if not what they are ?
