Winching with a hi-lift

(1/5) > >>

gords:
I've heard (read?) that it's possible to use a hi-lift jack as a (probably very slow) winch.

What extra kit would you need and how exactly would you do it?

For example, what happens if you get to the extent of the jack travel and you still need to winch some more?

Wanderer:
If my memory serves me right it's done with a chain. I've got a video of it somewhere. You have to winch, chock, release, winch, chock etc. etc....

Hard work to say the least.

datalas:
whilst possible, it's dangerous an insanely hard work.

Usually it's the last thing you'd try before ringing the insurance company and declaring the motor stolen

Umm, OK :shock:  :lol:

So, what's the other manual winch type thing called? :?

Wanderer:
Tirfors are the best manual ones. They'll pull a tree down.
