Ow yes jon, I like anything pie based.

Looking forward to the apf and hoping to have the time for a few days there this year so can actually look at stuff and have a chat with people and not feel like I'm missing stuff.

If you want a portable winch with some nuts that could winch all day you need to consider going hydraulic. It would be an easy job to make a mount up to strap it to a tree You could easily run one of the smaller winches off the portable hydraulic power packs and it could also be used on a hydraulic chainsaw if you were in the water. With a bit of ingenuity the bracket could be made so it clips to the front or back of a vehicle and then it would have more than one job.

Yes I agree but the set up you showed is hardly 1 man portable, my 5hp honda power pack I can carry a few yards but not any good for tabbing into a boggy site. The hydraulic recovery winch probably weighs a cwt too.

 

I've just had a look at the hydraulic option on a Tirfor tu16. Very expensive but looks doable as a diy retrofit. Getting the compliance sorted would be the problem under PUWER assuming winching but not lifting.

 

The self reciprocating ram looks interesting as the controls seem to be built in. It would me fairly simple to do something similar with a ram mounted spool with twin detents. Strange that they use a double acting cylinder as it makes the force different on each stroke unless they set differing port reliefs on the spool at less than the main pressure relief.
