Extracta Hand Winch

The Extracta Hand winch is a heavy duty portable winch for vehicle recovery. The advantage of a portable winch is it allows you to connect it to either the front of the rear of the vehicle or even transfer it to another vehicle. Such diversity makes it an essential part of your adventures off the beaten track.

A Hi-Lift will do the same thing, and good luck getting that steel cable wound back up nicely.

@fitchhollister True, a Hi Lift Jack can winch just like a hand winch, they are a very diverse unit. But they can also be a very dangerous unit, it is easy for them to slip or damage a vehicle during jacking and if not adequately controlled they can flick back and injure the user quite easily. Again with that said, Hi Lift jacks are a great product in the hands of someone who is experienced.

The Extracta can winch up to 20m in one setup making winching over steps or slippery area's a breeze.

im sold on the product, the question though is how much does it cost?

[Bushranger4WD]

I will send you a message with distributor contact details in your country.

I appreciat the "human power winch" as a back up or last resort winch. We all know that a hydraulic powered winch is useless when stalled in water and the electric winch works only as long as the battery has power when stalled. Only a fool will wonder far without redundant back up systems.

Can you tell me where I can get one of these in America?

sweet how much does it cost

can it be used for overhead lifitng both vertical and horizantial

[DogsonaRock]

Yeah, I'll be picking up a hand winch for my new 4WD. I prefer them over electric simply because there is less to go wrong, and they have more recovery options.

it would no problem. These things are a copy of the original Tirfor. They are used by Fire Brigades and the British Army to lift fallen trees - remove vehicles in accidents etc. The biggest will lift 3.5 tons vertically so it will pull a hell of a lot more than that - far more powerful than an electric winch but hard work and slow. The main advantage is that you can pull sideways or backwards. Also good for lowering down a steep slope.
