For waterfront property owners across Australia and New Zealand, HES Winches have fast become a familiar and trusted brand, also supplying the well-known OzWinch range of 240V AC electric planetary winches. “With almost 20 different OzWinch models available and also custom options to suit special requirements, we cover all domestic and commercial marine hauling applications from Pontoons and Dry Docks to Slipways and Boat Ramps,” says Corrie Johnson, who is the National Sales Director of HES Winches. “Uniquely, all OzWinch models have the option of being configured with a handheld pendant control as standard or a wireless remote-control system for extra user convenience and safety.” OzWinches also feature a failsafe electromagnetic disc brake to provide safe and easy load control.
For larger vessels, the OzWinch range also includes the recently updated Signature Series II slipway winch models which have been designed and manufactured locally using quality stainless steel components for superior longevity in the marine environment. Designed in Queensland for Australian conditions, the Signature Series II range is proudly an Australianmade product.
In recent times, HES Winches have also launched an exclusive range of OzWinch 316 Stainless Steel boat trailer winches with a choice of three capacity sizes for savvy boat owners who require nothing less than the most reliable and long-lasting winch option for their boat or jetski trailer.
Maintaining your winch – If you already own a winch that is used in a marine environment your winch should be inspected regularly to ensure safe and trouble-free operation. In particular, ropes should also be inspected for wear and must be replaced if there are signs of damage or corrosion.
To assist you with maintaining your winch, HES Winches Australia also offer an extensive end to end winch service program including sales and installation of new winches, periodical winch inspection servicing, mechanical and electrical repairs, breakdown services, replacement parts and rope replacement.
As we enjoy the cooler months of the year before the lead up to peak boating season, now is a great time to call HES Winches to discuss your winch requirements if you need to replace your winch or if your existing winch is overdue for a service.
