If your rope is running over the rope drum and rubbing against the long cross-screws, please unwind it until the rope is wound up underneath the drum again; your winch will then be back in the optimal and required condition.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan the winch be mounted on any cable winch?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, it can. The manufacturer and age of the winch is not of primary importance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tDo I need my own radio to operate the auxiliary winch?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Primarily, we are looking to integrate our winch system into the existing one. The Tod Mann functions are intended for this purpose, such as: throttle + \/ -, tower height adjustment, start\/stop if necessary if these functions are not assigned and are assigned by means of a toggle switch that returns to the neutral position.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat do I need for operation if I still have gas +\/- free, for example?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Generally speaking, you need: WINDE + bracket + cable + pulley set + hydraulic block + hydraulic hose.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWill the pulling power be sufficient if my winch has a 12 mm rope?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, this will be sufficient in regular operation and has successfully been tested by us in practice since 2014.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I also use the winch in professional applications?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, absolutely. Because this is where you experience first-hand, day after day, how much easier the winch makes your work. We now also equip harvesters, skidders and the like with them.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I break something if I want to pull small wood with it?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>In principle not, but this winch was built exclusively for use as an auxiliary winch for pulling ropes -> if you want a small winch for weak timber or initial fostering, please take a look at our SAPI winch.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I pull the forestry chains directly with the rope?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, of course. Our winch was built to be fast, efficient and, above all, gentle on the body.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I also use a steel cable?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Theoretically yes, but in practice it has become obvious that a plastic rope (originally HAFO) makes operation much easier and therefore simpler.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I use my own synthetic rope?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>We strongly recommend not to do this.<\/p>\n<p>We have had a special rope with its own diameter developed for this purpose.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat do I do in rocky terrain if the synthetic rope breaks?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>This is precisely one of the advantages of our synthetic rope compared to a steel cable, as it can be spliced, We work a lot in rocky terrain ourselves and have only made positive experiences.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tDoes the winch have a freewheel?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>No, it doesn\u2019t. We actively release the rope in both directions. This offers the advantage that you really don't have to pull any weight from the rope up the mountain. Another benefit is the possibility to control the actual wind rope much better later on in the process.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhich hydraulic connection do I need?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Einen einfach wirkenden, mit drucklosem R\u00fccklauf, \u00fcber unseren Hydraulikblock. Es funktioniert auch mit Doppelwirkenden. Dazu muss nur richtig angeschlossen werden, „T“ auf R\u00fccklauf.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tHow do I prevent rope overrides?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The auxiliary winch is running too fast. This is the most common cause of rope overlaps. On the HAFO auxiliary winch, the speed can be easily adjusted using the oil regulating screw. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat is the diameter of the 350m cable drum?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The inner diameter of the rope drum is designed precisely for the maximum cable pulling force of the auxiliary winch. It is approx. 140 mm, the outer diameter approx. 310 mm.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tHat die Hilfswinde eine Bremse?\n\t\t\t\t\tDie HAFO-Winde hat serienm\u00e4\u00dfig keine eigene Bremse. Sie kann jedoch so bestellt werden, dass sie in Position A\/B geschlossen ist – dadurch entfaltet der Motor seine Bremswirkung.\n<h2>\n\t\t\tFrequently Asked Questions About Product Selection\t<\/h2>\n\t<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-0\" aria-expanded=\"true\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Collapse<\/i>What is a HAFO auxiliary winch, and how do I use it in the forest?<\/button><\/h2><p>A HAFO auxiliary winch is a hydraulically powered auxiliary winch that automatically pulls the heavy winch cable from your forestry winch toward the tree. It makes logging much easier, especially on steep or rough terrain. Instead of having to laboriously carry the heavy steel cable uphill yourself, the auxiliary winch handles this step quickly and with minimal effort, and all you have to do is pull a very thin plastic rope uphill.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hafo.co.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Skizze-Baum-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-1\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>Can I build my own auxiliary winch?<\/button><\/h2><p>A homemade winch is usually heavier, more expensive, less powerful, and poses safety risks. Building an auxiliary winch requires many hydraulic components that must work together perfectly. The material costs for a single attempt would amount to at least 2,000 euros, with no guarantee of success. The HAFO auxiliary winch features several design details to ensure smooth and flawless operation. Many DIY enthusiasts overlook this. Most importantly, the HAFO auxiliary winch meets all safety requirements for an auxiliary winch. Reselling a homemade winch is practically impossible and legally prohibited without a CE mark. The HAFO, on the other hand, increases the value of the forestry winch.<\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-2\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-2\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>How exactly does the HAFO auxiliary winch on my forestry winch work?<\/button><\/h2><p>The HAFO auxiliary winch is hydraulically powered by the carrier vehicle. It pays out a thin, lightweight auxiliary rope that is attached to the heavy winch rope. As the rope is reeled in, the HAFO auxiliary winch automatically pulls the main rope toward the tree trunk. This eliminates the need to manually carry the slings and the winch rope. The work becomes faster, safer, and significantly less physically demanding.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hafo.co.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Skizze-Baum-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-3\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-3\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>How does the HAFO auxiliary winch differ from the competition?<\/button><\/h2><p>HAFO setzt auf robuste, qualitativ hochwertige Bauweise, erstklassige Materialien, langlebige Beschichtung und hohe Seilgeschwindigkeit (bis zu 3 m\/s).

The assist winch also offers a major boost to safety and comfort for older people or those working alone. A portion of the costs is often covered by insurance.<\/p>\n<p>Particularly worthwhile is the <strong>HAFO auxiliary winch<\/strong> as a retrofit solution for older forestry winches without rope payout. The retrofit makes operation significantly more comfortable and efficient.<\/p>\n<p>Die Investitionskosten liegen – je nach Ausf\u00fchrung – bei etwa <strong>1,500 to 2,500 euros<\/strong>. This solves two challenges at once: the heavy winch cable no longer has to be laboriously pulled out by hand, while at the same time being fed out of the forestry winch in a controlled and reliable manner. This saves time, reduces physical strain and increases efficiency in daily forestry work.<\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-7\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-7\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>How is the HAFO auxiliary winch installed?<\/button><\/h2><p>The HAFO auxiliary winch is mounted directly onto the forestry winch using a compatible bracket. HAFO offers brackets for many manufacturers. The hydraulic system is connected to the carrier vehicle and integrated into the existing winch radio system. The winch is then immediately ready for use. The HAFO auxiliary winch always comes with a quick-change bracket. HAFO is the only supplier that offers ready-made mounting solutions for all common forestry cable winches.

If your rope is running over the rope drum and rubbing against the long cross-screws, please unwind it until the rope is wound up underneath the drum again; your winch will then be back in the optimal and required condition.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan the winch be mounted on any cable winch?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, it can. The manufacturer and age of the winch is not of primary importance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tDo I need my own radio to operate the auxiliary winch?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Primarily, we are looking to integrate our winch system into the existing one. The Tod Mann functions are intended for this purpose, such as: throttle + \/ -, tower height adjustment, start\/stop if necessary if these functions are not assigned and are assigned by means of a toggle switch that returns to the neutral position.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat do I need for operation if I still have gas +\/- free, for example?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Generally speaking, you need: WINDE + bracket + cable + pulley set + hydraulic block + hydraulic hose.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWill the pulling power be sufficient if my winch has a 12 mm rope?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, this will be sufficient in regular operation and has successfully been tested by us in practice since 2014.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I also use the winch in professional applications?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, absolutely. Because this is where you experience first-hand, day after day, how much easier the winch makes your work. We now also equip harvesters, skidders and the like with them.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I break something if I want to pull small wood with it?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>In principle not, but this winch was built exclusively for use as an auxiliary winch for pulling ropes -> if you want a small winch for weak timber or initial fostering, please take a look at our SAPI winch.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I pull the forestry chains directly with the rope?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, of course. Our winch was built to be fast, efficient and, above all, gentle on the body.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I also use a steel cable?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Theoretically yes, but in practice it has become obvious that a plastic rope (originally HAFO) makes operation much easier and therefore simpler.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I use my own synthetic rope?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>We strongly recommend not to do this.<\/p>\n<p>We have had a special rope with its own diameter developed for this purpose.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat do I do in rocky terrain if the synthetic rope breaks?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>This is precisely one of the advantages of our synthetic rope compared to a steel cable, as it can be spliced, We work a lot in rocky terrain ourselves and have only made positive experiences.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tDoes the winch have a freewheel?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>No, it doesn\u2019t. We actively release the rope in both directions. This offers the advantage that you really don't have to pull any weight from the rope up the mountain. Another benefit is the possibility to control the actual wind rope much better later on in the process.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhich hydraulic connection do I need?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Einen einfach wirkenden, mit drucklosem R\u00fccklauf, \u00fcber unseren Hydraulikblock. Es funktioniert auch mit Doppelwirkenden. Dazu muss nur richtig angeschlossen werden, „T“ auf R\u00fccklauf.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tHow do I prevent rope overrides?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The auxiliary winch is running too fast. This is the most common cause of rope overlaps. On the HAFO auxiliary winch, the speed can be easily adjusted using the oil regulating screw. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat is the diameter of the 350m cable drum?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The inner diameter of the rope drum is designed precisely for the maximum cable pulling force of the auxiliary winch. It is approx. 140 mm, the outer diameter approx. 310 mm.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tHat die Hilfswinde eine Bremse?\n\t\t\t\t\tDie HAFO-Winde hat serienm\u00e4\u00dfig keine eigene Bremse. Sie kann jedoch so bestellt werden, dass sie in Position A\/B geschlossen ist – dadurch entfaltet der Motor seine Bremswirkung.\n<h2>\n\t\t\tFrequently Asked Questions About Product Selection\t<\/h2>\n\t<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-0\" aria-expanded=\"true\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Collapse<\/i>What is a HAFO auxiliary winch, and how do I use it in the forest?<\/button><\/h2><p>A HAFO auxiliary winch is a hydraulically powered auxiliary winch that automatically pulls the heavy winch cable from your forestry winch toward the tree. It makes logging much easier, especially on steep or rough terrain. Instead of having to laboriously carry the heavy steel cable uphill yourself, the auxiliary winch handles this step quickly and with minimal effort, and all you have to do is pull a very thin plastic rope uphill.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hafo.co.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Skizze-Baum-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-1\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>Can I build my own auxiliary winch?<\/button><\/h2><p>A homemade winch is usually heavier, more expensive, less powerful, and poses safety risks. Building an auxiliary winch requires many hydraulic components that must work together perfectly. The material costs for a single attempt would amount to at least 2,000 euros, with no guarantee of success. The HAFO auxiliary winch features several design details to ensure smooth and flawless operation. Many DIY enthusiasts overlook this. Most importantly, the HAFO auxiliary winch meets all safety requirements for an auxiliary winch. Reselling a homemade winch is practically impossible and legally prohibited without a CE mark. The HAFO, on the other hand, increases the value of the forestry winch.<\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-2\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-2\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>How exactly does the HAFO auxiliary winch on my forestry winch work?<\/button><\/h2><p>The HAFO auxiliary winch is hydraulically powered by the carrier vehicle. It pays out a thin, lightweight auxiliary rope that is attached to the heavy winch rope. As the rope is reeled in, the HAFO auxiliary winch automatically pulls the main rope toward the tree trunk. This eliminates the need to manually carry the slings and the winch rope. The work becomes faster, safer, and significantly less physically demanding.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hafo.co.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Skizze-Baum-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-3\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-3\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>How does the HAFO auxiliary winch differ from the competition?<\/button><\/h2><p>HAFO setzt auf robuste, qualitativ hochwertige Bauweise, erstklassige Materialien, langlebige Beschichtung und hohe Seilgeschwindigkeit (bis zu 3 m\/s). Ein weiterer Vorteil sind gro\u00dfe Seilkapazit\u00e4t (250-350 m) und eine sehr einfache Montage. Die Produkte sind praxiserprobt, langlebig und f\u00fcr viele Forstseilwinden kompatibel.

Diese Winden sind unhandlich und m\u00fcssen meist vorab zum Einsatzort getragen werden. Eine HAFO Hiflswinde ist fix mit der Forstwinde verbaut und immer einsatzbereit. \u00d6lversorgung vom Tr\u00e4gerfahrzeug, Funksteuerung \u00fcber den Windenfunk.

The assist winch also offers a major boost to safety and comfort for older people or those working alone. A portion of the costs is often covered by insurance.<\/p>\n<p>Particularly worthwhile is the <strong>HAFO auxiliary winch<\/strong> as a retrofit solution for older forestry winches without rope payout. The retrofit makes operation significantly more comfortable and efficient.<\/p>\n<p>Die Investitionskosten liegen – je nach Ausf\u00fchrung – bei etwa <strong>1,500 to 2,500 euros<\/strong>. This solves two challenges at once: the heavy winch cable no longer has to be laboriously pulled out by hand, while at the same time being fed out of the forestry winch in a controlled and reliable manner. This saves time, reduces physical strain and increases efficiency in daily forestry work.<\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-7\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-7\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>How is the HAFO auxiliary winch installed?<\/button><\/h2><p>The HAFO auxiliary winch is mounted directly onto the forestry winch using a compatible bracket. HAFO offers brackets for many manufacturers. The hydraulic system is connected to the carrier vehicle and integrated into the existing winch radio system. The winch is then immediately ready for use. The HAFO auxiliary winch always comes with a quick-change bracket. HAFO is the only supplier that offers ready-made mounting solutions for all common forestry cable winches. This means that, in the event of a replacement, the winch can be easily mounted onto a new winch.<\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-8\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-8\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>What are the differences between the HAFO Easy Auxiliary Winch and the HAFO Pro Auxiliary Winch?<\/button><\/h2><p>Der wesentliche Unterschied ist die Seill\u00e4nge – 250 m bei Hilfswinde EASY und 350 m bei Hilfswinde PRO. Mit den Hilfswinden EASY k\u00f6nnen Distanzen von ca. 120 m \u00fcberwunden werden. Die Hilfswinde PRO eignet sich f\u00fcr Distanzen bis zu 170 m. Die Maximale Zugkraft betr\u00e4gt bei der Hilfswinde EASY 500 kg, bei der Hilfswinde PRO 600 kg. Baugr\u00f6\u00dfe: Hilfswinde EASY ist etwas kompakter gebaut.<\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-9\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-9\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>Welche Ausf\u00fchrung brauche ich – Hilfswinde rechts oder links montiert?<\/button><\/h2><p>That depends on the design of your forestry winch. Many manufacturers specify a preferred side for installation. HAFO offers mounting brackets suitable for both sides. The key factors are where the main cable exits the drum and how much space is available. It\u2019s best to use the configurator to find the right version. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hafo.co.at\/en\/auxiliary-winch\/construction-variants\/\">Link to the configurator<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>Good to know: The bracket's mounting point is located directly behind the winch tower.<\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-10\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-10\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>How far uphill can I pull the winch cable with the HAFO auxiliary winch?<\/button><\/h2><p>Je nach Modell fasst die Hilfswinde 250-350 m Kunststoffseil.

If your rope is running over the rope drum and rubbing against the long cross-screws, please unwind it until the rope is wound up underneath the drum again; your winch will then be back in the optimal and required condition.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan the winch be mounted on any cable winch?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, it can. The manufacturer and age of the winch is not of primary importance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tDo I need my own radio to operate the auxiliary winch?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Primarily, we are looking to integrate our winch system into the existing one. The Tod Mann functions are intended for this purpose, such as: throttle + \/ -, tower height adjustment, start\/stop if necessary if these functions are not assigned and are assigned by means of a toggle switch that returns to the neutral position.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat do I need for operation if I still have gas +\/- free, for example?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Generally speaking, you need: WINDE + bracket + cable + pulley set + hydraulic block + hydraulic hose.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWill the pulling power be sufficient if my winch has a 12 mm rope?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, this will be sufficient in regular operation and has successfully been tested by us in practice since 2014.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I also use the winch in professional applications?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, absolutely. Because this is where you experience first-hand, day after day, how much easier the winch makes your work. We now also equip harvesters, skidders and the like with them.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I break something if I want to pull small wood with it?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>In principle not, but this winch was built exclusively for use as an auxiliary winch for pulling ropes -> if you want a small winch for weak timber or initial fostering, please take a look at our SAPI winch.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I pull the forestry chains directly with the rope?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, of course. Our winch was built to be fast, efficient and, above all, gentle on the body.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I also use a steel cable?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Theoretically yes, but in practice it has become obvious that a plastic rope (originally HAFO) makes operation much easier and therefore simpler.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I use my own synthetic rope?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>We strongly recommend not to do this.<\/p>\n<p>We have had a special rope with its own diameter developed for this purpose.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat do I do in rocky terrain if the synthetic rope breaks?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>This is precisely one of the advantages of our synthetic rope compared to a steel cable, as it can be spliced, We work a lot in rocky terrain ourselves and have only made positive experiences.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tDoes the winch have a freewheel?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>No, it doesn\u2019t. We actively release the rope in both directions. This offers the advantage that you really don't have to pull any weight from the rope up the mountain. Another benefit is the possibility to control the actual wind rope much better later on in the process.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhich hydraulic connection do I need?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Einen einfach wirkenden, mit drucklosem R\u00fccklauf, \u00fcber unseren Hydraulikblock. Es funktioniert auch mit Doppelwirkenden. Dazu muss nur richtig angeschlossen werden, „T“ auf R\u00fccklauf.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tHow do I prevent rope overrides?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The auxiliary winch is running too fast. This is the most common cause of rope overlaps. On the HAFO auxiliary winch, the speed can be easily adjusted using the oil regulating screw. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat is the diameter of the 350m cable drum?\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The inner diameter of the rope drum is designed precisely for the maximum cable pulling force of the auxiliary winch. It is approx. 140 mm, the outer diameter approx. 310 mm.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tHat die Hilfswinde eine Bremse?\n\t\t\t\t\tDie HAFO-Winde hat serienm\u00e4\u00dfig keine eigene Bremse. Sie kann jedoch so bestellt werden, dass sie in Position A\/B geschlossen ist – dadurch entfaltet der Motor seine Bremswirkung.\n<h2>\n\t\t\tFrequently Asked Questions About Product Selection\t<\/h2>\n\t<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-0\" aria-expanded=\"true\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Collapse<\/i>What is a HAFO auxiliary winch, and how do I use it in the forest?<\/button><\/h2><p>A HAFO auxiliary winch is a hydraulically powered auxiliary winch that automatically pulls the heavy winch cable from your forestry winch toward the tree. It makes logging much easier, especially on steep or rough terrain. Instead of having to laboriously carry the heavy steel cable uphill yourself, the auxiliary winch handles this step quickly and with minimal effort, and all you have to do is pull a very thin plastic rope uphill.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hafo.co.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Skizze-Baum-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-1\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>Can I build my own auxiliary winch?<\/button><\/h2><p>A homemade winch is usually heavier, more expensive, less powerful, and poses safety risks. Building an auxiliary winch requires many hydraulic components that must work together perfectly. The material costs for a single attempt would amount to at least 2,000 euros, with no guarantee of success. The HAFO auxiliary winch features several design details to ensure smooth and flawless operation. Many DIY enthusiasts overlook this. Most importantly, the HAFO auxiliary winch meets all safety requirements for an auxiliary winch. Reselling a homemade winch is practically impossible and legally prohibited without a CE mark. The HAFO, on the other hand, increases the value of the forestry winch.<\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-2\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-2\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>How exactly does the HAFO auxiliary winch on my forestry winch work?<\/button><\/h2><p>The HAFO auxiliary winch is hydraulically powered by the carrier vehicle. It pays out a thin, lightweight auxiliary rope that is attached to the heavy winch rope. As the rope is reeled in, the HAFO auxiliary winch automatically pulls the main rope toward the tree trunk. This eliminates the need to manually carry the slings and the winch rope. The work becomes faster, safer, and significantly less physically demanding.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hafo.co.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Skizze-Baum-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-3\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-3\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>How does the HAFO auxiliary winch differ from the competition?<\/button><\/h2><p>HAFO setzt auf robuste, qualitativ hochwertige Bauweise, erstklassige Materialien, langlebige Beschichtung und hohe Seilgeschwindigkeit (bis zu 3 m\/s). Ein weiterer Vorteil sind gro\u00dfe Seilkapazit\u00e4t (250-350 m) und eine sehr einfache Montage. Die Produkte sind praxiserprobt, langlebig und f\u00fcr viele Forstseilwinden kompatibel.

The assist winch also offers a major boost to safety and comfort for older people or those working alone. A portion of the costs is often covered by insurance.<\/p>\n<p>Particularly worthwhile is the <strong>HAFO auxiliary winch<\/strong> as a retrofit solution for older forestry winches without rope payout. The retrofit makes operation significantly more comfortable and efficient.<\/p>\n<p>Die Investitionskosten liegen – je nach Ausf\u00fchrung – bei etwa <strong>1,500 to 2,500 euros<\/strong>. This solves two challenges at once: the heavy winch cable no longer has to be laboriously pulled out by hand, while at the same time being fed out of the forestry winch in a controlled and reliable manner. This saves time, reduces physical strain and increases efficiency in daily forestry work.<\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-7\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-7\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>How is the HAFO auxiliary winch installed?<\/button><\/h2><p>The HAFO auxiliary winch is mounted directly onto the forestry winch using a compatible bracket. HAFO offers brackets for many manufacturers. The hydraulic system is connected to the carrier vehicle and integrated into the existing winch radio system. The winch is then immediately ready for use. The HAFO auxiliary winch always comes with a quick-change bracket. HAFO is the only supplier that offers ready-made mounting solutions for all common forestry cable winches. This means that, in the event of a replacement, the winch can be easily mounted onto a new winch.<\/p>\n<h2><button id=\"fl-accordion--button-8\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--content-8\" aria-expanded=\"false\" type=\"button\"><i data-label-icon=\"fas fa-plus\" data-active-icon=\"fas fa-minus\">Expand<\/i>What are the differences between the HAFO Easy Auxiliary Winch and the HAFO Pro Auxiliary Winch?<\/button><\/h2><p>Der wesentliche Unterschied ist die Seill\u00e4nge – 250 m bei Hilfswinde EASY und 350 m bei Hilfswinde PRO.
