This Winch is similar to the 10kN 3-Drum Skid-Mount Winch, except that it is permanently fixed to the truck chassis. A gearbox power take off (PTO) is used to drive the hydraulic pump.
Not having a stand-alone diesel engine and hydraulic power pack, it has made available extra space for other items and equipment. This unit is provided with additional storage boxes and other equipment. The 3-Drum Winch Truck Combination is more compact and saves the cost and weight of a tray body.
The new Winch was subject to a JSA conducted by Energy Qld and representatives from the Raceview depot where the truck will be eventually based. A few minor changes were required, after which the winch will be sent to Brisbane Isuzu for pre-delivery service of the truck before delivering to Energex. The 3-Drum 10kN Winch Truck was supplied with a wide range of optional accessories to enhance its performance. These accessories include the following:
- Hydraulically operated drop-down walkway
- Additional operator’s door
- 2 speed winch kit- approximately 80m/min (mean diameter)
