Born in the rugged American Northwest and developed alongside the world’s first track driven dozers, CARCO is the most trusted brand for tractor winch applications for pipeline, construction and forestry operations.
Utilizing its new patented “Carcometal,” Pacific Car and Foundry Company (now PACCAR) launched the CARCO brand in 1932 with the introduction of the HS-101. This was the first tractor winch with a fully housed gear train and anti-friction bearings in an oil bath. It minimized downtime with a one-piece cast steel case that kept the shafts and bearings aligned.
The first CARCO logging and yarding winches followed soon after in 1934 and 1936.
Today’s equipment is designed to adapt to multiple working conditions while improving operator comfort, reducing fatigue, and creating safer, more productive lifting and pulling environments.
In addition, CARCO engineers work closely with equipment manufacturers to ensure each winch performs optimally with different tractor models.
CARCO H40B/H50B Hydraulic Winches are engineered for compatibility with open-loop (Ripper/Aux) or closed-loop (Hystat) hydraulic systems. Rated for line pulls from 40,000 to 50,000 lb (18,144 to 22,680 kg), these winches combine a high-efficiency, three-stage axial planetary gearset with electronic controls, and full-speed driveaway capability. Power reel in/reel out, low-drag freespool and a spring-applied, hydraulically released brake provide the performance and control required for demanding heavy-duty operations.
