The front bumper winch/stiffleg unit from Kanister Industries has multiple advantages:
Ensures even spooling of the winch cable, regardless of the pull direction
Provides a recovery range exceeding 180 degrees
The patented trunnion sheave head and front winch release enable fast and
efficient operation
Recovers vehicles the same way they entered, eliminating the need to
create a new path out
Enhanced operator safety, by eliminating the need to work behind
or alongside the recovery vehicle, and recovery operations can be
performed remotely, from inside the cab of the recovery vehicle,
or even from within the disabled vehicle itself
Enables the operator to bring the recovered vehicle fully onto
the roadway, not just to the shoulder of the road
Allows the operator to approach the recovery point head-on,
rather than at a side angle
Reduces amount of time operators need to spend in active traffic lanes
Allows recovery, without turning recovery vehicle around
Minimizes the necessity of calling in a wrecker for the first stage of recovery
Compatible with any vehicle, regardless of cab-to-bed clearance
