Winch Launch Presentation

If you're new to winching why not have a look at this presentation that we use when visting clubs around the world. It may help you decide which direction to take if you are considering buying, building or modifying a winch with the numerous options that are available to you. If you're not new to winching it may still give you a few ideas to help your club winching operation.
 

Club Build Kits

 

In response to demand for us to supply parts and components to clubs around the world we have now put together some standard kits to make it easier for clubs to build or update their own winches at a very reasonable cost. There are various levels of build from just the main components such as the bevel box, drums, guilotines and roller boxes to kits which also include the chassis and cab. It's possible start off with a very basic single drum winch with no cab and add to it as time and finances allow.

Support and service for all winch types

Many other winch manufacturers have come and gone over the years leaving many gliding clubs without a source for service and spare parts for these winches. Skylaunch have clearly stood the test of time and now have a huge amount of knowledge with other makes of winch gained through our re-engineering projects. We are pleased to be able to offer service, support, parts, accessories and re-engineering for all winch types including Mel/Van Gelder, Tost, ESW, SupaCat, Wiz and virtually any other club built winch. Please don't hesitate to give us a call so see how we can help you.
