Hand Winch

stuvy:
I had to pull a 450 foreman quad in the back of my old work van with only 2 ratchet straps was NOT fun and hugely time consuming!!

when it comes to pulling quads the best system is very simple- a rope going through  a single pulley to the bike and tug on the free end- easy :D. i got my bike stuck in a 4 foot deep ditch  and couldnt lift it out with just me and my 14 year old cousin so went back the next morning with a highlift, pulleys, ropes and ratchets- oh and dad! but before we rigged anything complicated we set up a single pulley and pulled on it and out it came, job done.

frosty:

   is a hi lift and winching kit the best combo for this type of hand winching? or would a jackall (or tmax) with a pair of ratchet straps be suitable? at the moment ive got a cheap farm jack that ive had for years and im very aware that its not the best bit of kit and i should really replace it..
 
  any ideas?

You could still use a jackall or t max with winching kit. nothing wrong with the farm jack though. just not as solid as a hi lift.

I bought some 10mm long-link chain from a lifting equipent place in Sheffield.  i did have a 'phone number but that was a few years ago.

10mm chain is probably way OTT for the 2,000kg rated pull on a hi-lift but the hooks that come with it fit 10mm and that's the size of chain in the kit.  Also make sure its' long-link.


As for Jackall, I'm not aware that they make a winching kit.
