Winch: Save your strength with heavy animals
A red stag or a big boar can easily weigh well over 100 kilos. Pulling animals like these onto a trailer on your own or hanging them up for gralloching is hardly possible. A winch does this work for you. The range includes electric winches with cable remote control, manual hand winches with brake and a swivel arm from Kerbl on which you mount the winch.
Electric or manual
An electric winch is suited to the larder or garage, where there is a power supply. With the cable remote you raise and lower the carcass at the push of a button and keep both hands free, for example for skinning or butchering. The models with 125/250 kg and 300/600 kg pulling power use a pulley block that doubles the lifting capacity. A hand winch with 10 or 20 m of cable, on the other hand, works without electricity, ideal for use in the woods or on the trailer.
Working safely with a winch
When working with loads, safety comes first. Never exceed the stated load capacity and never stand under a suspended load. The cable should always keep a few turns on the drum and be free of kinks. The swivel arm with a load capacity of up to 600 kg can be mounted on a wall or post and swings the carcass to the side, for example from the load bed straight into the cold room.
Frequently asked questions
What pulling power do I need for red deer and wild boar?
Plan generously: the winch should be able to lift clearly more than your heaviest animal weighs. A small winch is enough for roe deer, while for red deer and heavy boar a winch with 300 kg or more is the safe choice.
Can I run an electric winch from my car battery?
The Kerbl electric winches with cable remote run on mains power and are meant for fixed use in a larder, garage or barn. In the woods you are better off with a hand winch.
How do I fix a winch in the larder?
The winch belongs on a load-bearing beam, a wall or a swivel arm rated for the weight. If in doubt, have the installation checked by someone who knows about load capacities.
Winches for hunting and forestry
When an animal is too heavy to lift, a winch comes to your aid. In the larder you can hang game up comfortably for gralloching, skinning or butchering without straining yourself. The electric models from Kerbl work with a cable remote, so you have both hands free. With a pulley block the lifting capacity doubles, so depending on the version the winches manage up to 250 or 600 kg. In the woods and at the trailer, where there is no power, hand winches with a brake are the right choice. They reliably pull heavy animals up the ramp or out of a steep slope. Mount the matching swivel arm on a wall or post to swing the load to the side. With every winch, keep to the maximum load capacity and never stand under a suspended load, not even for a short moment.
