HOW

WE MAKE THEM

SAFER.

EASIER.

FASTER.

Single-Stacking Design

The YoYo is completely different from anything else on the market. Its single-stacking design eliminates springcoil, fouling, and uncontrolled spooling, and it’s up to 50% faster than ratchets. Operation is simple and safe, with a patented double-dog design that allows easy maximum line tensioning. And the YoYo’s contained springcoil eliminates injuries due to rope memory.

Lifetime Value

Faster makeups and breakups, less wear and tear, lighter weight, and increased safety add up to a winch that can actually pay for itself in just a short time.

Tough and Reliable

With 40′of adjustable take-up and a brake for safer disconnects (and less sparking), the 40' model is ideal for tank barges. The unique design creates less stress on your wire rope - some reports show that the ungrooved drum has extended wire rope life up to 300%. This heavy duty model is light in weight, because there’s no need for 100' of line. The design eliminates delicate parts, which means it’s a tough and reliable upgrade to your rigging.
