Our innovative and diverse team of highly skilled engineers have developed this winch from the key feedback they have received from our customers and their operational requirements. As we progress into 2022, we will look to further compliment our Electric Winch range with the launch of the STR SeaTow-500 and STR SeaTow-2000”.
