Horizontal Capstans

Powered Load Positioners Streamline Pulling Operations

Protect workers from backbreaking tasks with a David Round powered load positioner. This horizontal capstan eliminates manual load lifting and pulling by motorizing load handling.

Control load line take-up and outlay with either a push-button pendant or a hands-free foot switch. Single, two and variable-speed units are available in a wide range of capacities.

By securing a load to a capstan load positioner, riggers, installers, operators and service technicians can be helped to be protected from injuries caused by load shifts and overexertion.
