Harken LokHead Winch for Rescue Industrial Abseil Arborism Height Safety Marine

We purchased six of these winch kits for an elaborate film shoot last year - they're amazing ! Over a period of 14 days, we were using them to lower/raise people/equipment 100m into a massive cave system in a remote location near Waitomo. This was extremely convenient being much faster more flexible and a lot less effort than traditional caving hauling systems. In addition to the standard kit the winch has been fitted with a shroud - which gives it extra robustness for heavy loads. After the film shoot the winch was fully serviced by the supplier and has sat on the shelf ever since. It's in excellent working condition. As much as we like these things we don't need six and so are offering just one for sale in this auction. The winch can be hand-cranked or powered by a suitable drill (e.g. Milwaukee SuperHawg) We can potentially set up an auction for a drill and batteries if required but this is NOT included in this auction. For more detail the info below is copied from the Harken website: "The innovative LokHead winch is a portable or fix-mounted load-lifting, personnel-hoisting winch used with an unlimited length of fiber rope. The captive head allows the winch to be used safely, and keeps the rope from accidentally releasing. Perfect for fixed or temporary applications and rescue. Harken Safety & Rescue offers the LokHead and its accessories fully boxed in a heavy-duty storage case that allows safe transport and rapid deployment. The kit includes the LokHead winch with reversible plate, winch handle, universal tripod adapter, control lever, 2 carabiners, waterproof case and anchor strap with connectors to offer a variety of mounting options: clamped to tripods, rigged to ropes/strops, or anchored direct to structures. Spare parts available from any Harken Safety & Rescue dealer. The simple construction requires no lubrication and can be flushed clean with fresh water." There are various videos online demonstrating the rescue application of these very handy devices.
