Steve Ibelings quoted me 1435euros (I think) for his smart winch.

 

Form what you said above, majestic, it sound like the Stein Duo would be perfect, based on price etc. Probably with the pre-tension pulley.

It depends entirely on your requirements of course.

 

I'm SO close to buying the Duo and pre-tensioner but I know that there are too many applications, with the work we do, where a proper winch is beneficial. Hence my Smartwinch/GRCS dilemma.

 

It's a tricky one as there are so many £££££ involved.

 

sorry mate only just realised you had replied to me, the stein duo would be cool to have and comes with its own tensioner anyway but the tension pulley could still be an option, also it makes everything neat when doing speedlines.

 

i've already decided its the stein for me, and now i think the duo will be more beneficial for what work i do, i'm in no need for the winch yet so all is sorted on my behalf .....

 

thanks everyone.

adam, do you use a Buckingham Portawrap just now?

[Adam Bourne]

yes mate i do?

[scotspine1]

yes mate i do?

 

why do you need a bollard then?

[Adam Bourne]

because its shiny:lol:

 

only messing...... being lose theres always the slack issue, and i've lost count of how many times i've needed that little extra tension and not been able to with the portawrap. there handy for light lowering but a fixed bollard offers much more stability and control of the lines.

90% of my work is medium to large removals over houses, roads and other property etc and the Portawrap can handle every tree we throw at it, there's no need for a bollard/drum lowering device mate.
