Improper use of vehicle mounted winches can cause serious injury or even death, as well as vehicle or property damage. It is CRITICAL that safety is the foremost concern when operating a vehicle mounted winch.
Our vehicle mounted winch safe operation program is a half-day course that addresses the unique operational characteristics of a vehicle mounted winch. This program provides an introduction in basic winch operation and safety, intended for employees who operate trucks equipped with winches that may be required during the normal course of work.
