Portable Winch 4" Open-Faced Pulley - 1/2" Rope

Redirect, Lift, and Skid Logs with the Portable Winch PCA-1270 Open-Face Pulley

The Portable Winch PCA-1270 Open-Face Pulley is a rugged and versatile tool designed to optimize winching operations in forestry, land clearing, and utility work. Built to handle tough jobs, this steel pulley allows users to redirect pulling angles, maneuver around obstacles, and even slightly lift logs to reduce ground friction during skidding operations.

Designed for Efficient Winching and Log Handling

When traction comes from a vehicle or winch, the open-face pulley makes it possible to pull trees perpendicular to a path, helping you work in tighter or less accessible areas. It can also be installed at height to create an upward pulling angle, lifting the tip of the log and minimizing drag on the ground. This improves efficiency and reduces wear on synthetic winch lines.

• Obstacle Navigation: Easily deviate the line’s trajectory to bypass rocks, stumps, or other obstructions.
• Low-Friction Skidding: Creates an elevated pull to lift the log tip and reduce ground resistance.
• Smooth Synthetic Line Handling: The sheave is crafted without sharp edges, ensuring it won't damage synthetic ropes.
• Shock-Resistant Build: Made of durable steel to withstand impacts in rugged environments.

Recommended Setup

For optimal performance, attach the PCA-1270 pulley to a tree or anchor point using one of our nylon or polyester slings. To make skidding even easier, pair it with a Portable Winch Skidding Cone (PCA-1290) to protect logs and prevent snags during pulling operations. Whether you're clearing trails or managing forestry projects, these accessories help maximize the efficiency of your winching setup.

Whether you're clearing trails, skidding logs, or handling winching tasks in challenging terrain, the Portable Winch PCA-1270 Open-Face Pulley helps you work smarter and faster.
