"The release of the Pullmaster 40,000-pound winch represents a significant milestone for the M & H Series," said Jason VanderMeer, General Manager of TWG. "We are proud to bring this product to market while staying true to the legendary Pullmaster winch designs our customers trust – robust, serviceable, and built to perform in the harshest environments."
The Pullmaster 40 M/H Planetary Winch reinforces Pullmaster's longstanding commitment to best-in-class engineering, operational reliability, and long-term serviceability – hallmarks that have defined the brand for decades. It also introduces several differentiating features that set it apart in its class, all while remaining fully aligned with established Pullmaster design principles.
With this launch, Pullmaster fills a critical gap in the M & H Series lineup, providing customers with a comprehensive range of line pull capacities backed by a unified design philosophy and proven engineering.
"The Pullmaster 40 M/H Planetary Winch is our solution for customers looking for a middle ground," VanderMeer added. "We have seen significant demand for a winch that pulls more than 25,000 pounds but is smaller than our 50,000-pound winch. The new 40 M/H winch fills that gap and provides the safety and security that only comes with a Pullmaster."
