JK-D Planetary Winch

A: Air winches are commonly used in numerous industries for various applications. They can be used on a construction site to move materials and equipment, in a mine to extract minerals, for oil/gas drilling operations, and in facilities where chemicals and fertilizers are produced or handled.

A: Oilfield planetary recovery winches are designed to withstand the toughest applications. They are used to provide the necessary traction and pulling power to recover vehicles and equipment from difficult or dangerous terrain.
