David Bowyer, M1AEI has for some time now been preparing 12 volt winch systems for 40, 60, 80
and 100 ft Strumech Versatowers, as well as similar other models like Radio Structures, Westower, Altron and
Tennamast.
The prepared narrow drum TDS-8.5 or 12.0 waterproof winch systems come ready made up on galvanised back
plates and spacers as required to ensure that the back plate does not interfere with the front tube.
The solenoids are repositioned with remote wiring to keep the weather off them (although they are sealed). The
rope fixing hole on the drum is prepared to get the original mast rope through twice. We also disable the
freespool (the yellow knob).
Finally, we fit an Anderson quick disconnect fitting on the end of the winch supply cables and another on a
battery harness with battery posts on the other end, then bench test and run.
The special prices for fellow Radio Amateur enthusiasts is £500 plus carriage and VAT for 40 & 60ft
standard Strumech Versatowers with small to medium head loads using the TDS-8.5.
Alternatively, £525 plus carriage and VAT for 60, 80 & 100ft heavy duty towers especially with heavy head loads
using the TDS-12.0.
Carriage is £30 plus VAT (UK mainland excluding offshore islands and the Scottish Highlands).
We also have the ATV 4000 winch system (see inset picture above) for the smaller tower
at £220 plus £18 carriage and VAT.
