Portable and powerful, Grundowinch is well-
suited for underground utility construction
applications including underground cable
pulling, pipe bursting, sliplining, pipe pulling,
and swage lining.
The constant-tension design feature
means any cable slack is immediately
sensed and quickly taken up automatically.
This makes for an ideal winch for sensitive
operations. Control is easy with a number of
convenience and operational features such
as single-lever tension control (no gears to
engage), power assisted winch line feed,
and winch controls located at the rear of the
unit to provide a safe view of the job while
operating.
TT Technologies offers nine models of
Grundowinch constant tensions winches
ranging pulling capacities from 1.5 tons to
20 tons. A 3-ton hydrostatic Grundowinch
is ideal for pulling CCTV and cable through
innerduct. The Grundowinch can pull up to
3,280 feet of 3/8-inch cable at pulling speeds
of up to 160 feet per minute. In addition to
a 3-ton pulling capacity, the winch offers
infinite speed control throughout the pull-
ing range. The 3-ton winch is compact and
highly portable for pulling in easements and
backyards.
The compact Grundodrill 4X is ideal for
the installation of conduit for power and
last-mile applications. The Grundodrill 4x
offers 9,800 pounds of thrust and pullback.
Using the compact drill is less intrusive and
ideal for areas where larger units are not an
option. The drill features a dual hydrostatic
pump system and a four-auger stake down
system that provides greater stability.
