OPTIONS
CABLE DRUM SIZES:
Aside from the standard drum sizes listed in APPENDIX A, the PULLMASTER Model PL8 planetary winch can
be supplied with optional drums to accommodate large wire rope storage capacity.
DRUM GROOVING:
Cable drums for the PULLMASTER Model PL8 planetary winch can be grooved. Where this option is a requirement,
it is necessary to state the size of wire rope which is to be used with the winch.
OPTIONAL GEAR SECTION FOR THE HYDRAULIC MOTOR:
The performance of the standard PULLMASTER Model PL8 planetary winch is based on a COMMERCIAL WM31
hydralic motor, having a 2 inch gear section. The performance of the winch can be changed by using different gear
sections. (Contact the factory for performance information of different gear sections).
HYDRAULIC MOTORS FOR HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS:
The operating pressure of the PULLMASTER Model PL8 planetary winch is limited to 2150 psi (148 bar). For
hydraulic systems operating with higher hydraulic pressure, the winch can be supplied with a hydraulic piston motor,
which will provide for the same basic performance in terms of line pull and line speed capacity (contact the factory
for this requirement).
The PULLMASTER WINCH CORPORATION will consider other options for quantity requirements.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY VENT EXTERNAL BRAKE RELEASE PORT
WILL TRAP BRAKE PRESSURE AND ALLOW THE LOAD TO DROP,
CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
WINCHES SUPPLIED WITH EXTERNAL RELEASE OPTION
MUST BE CONNECTED ACCORDING TO TYPICAL HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT.
CLOCKWISE ROTATION:
The drum rotation of the standard PULLMASTER Model PL8 planetary winch is counterclockwise for hoisting, when
looking at the hydraulic motor of the winch. Drum rotation for clockwise hoisting direction is available as an option.
EXTERNAL BRAKE RELEASE:
PULLMASTER planetary winches can be supplied with an external brake release which permits release of the
automatic disc brake from an external pressure source.
