Q...How do you pull a large vehicle out of the ditch using a Lewis Winch?  Isn't a full size pick-up truck too heavy for the Lewis Winch?

-------------------------------

A....No, a full size pick-up is not too heavy for the Lewis Winch.

Actually it is easier to pull a truck out of the ditch than skid a large log because a vehicle is on wheels and there is less friction to contend with.

The Lewis Winch is designed to efficiently skids logs weighing thousands of pounds across the ground and through dense bush, so a vehicle on wheels is child's play for this portable chainsaw winch.

Just remenber to block the wheels so that the vehicle doesn't roll forward or backwards once it is out of the ditch.

Here is what our customers have said about pulling stuck vehicles using the Lewis Winch:



Lewis Winch recues car stuck in snow

 

"My wife and kids took a bit of a wild winter ride on our snowy driveway last night.





They got part way up, lost traction and slid backwards on the 15% grade for about 40 very anxious feet. In three easy pulls, the winch walked the car up the remaining 200 feet like a champ. No snatch block, it pulled the car (a Nissan Maxima) with far greater ease than most of the logs I've dragged around the forest.  

This is a tool that my wife now fully supports!!!"

The Lewis Winch will easily pull a 3/4 ton truck out of the sand

  "I work in sugar sand, and vehicles get stuck weekly.

 I direct mounted a stihl 066 that I don't get much use out of because all the hurricanes have taken down all the big trees.

Well the Lewis Winch will actually start pulling a 2500 truck buried in the sand with barely any throttle... 

This winch is awesome!"
