Planetary winches

With over 75 years of experience and knowledge, TWG’s planetary winches have the strength to pull you out of trouble. Our planetary winches are commonly used in the Infrastructure, Recovery, Energy & Marine markets custom built for each application.

Winches are designed to pull items along the ground, while hoists are designed to lift them in the air (for Pullmaster products see Planetary Hoists).

With line pull ratings from 3,000 lbs (13 kN) to 270,000 lbs (1,188 kN), our winches can handle a wide range of requirements.
