Dragon Winch, Winches and Sand Ladders

[Robert OB 33/48]

Hello you all,

As we have already over a year now our winches, and we still love them, I ordered from the same company two Sand Ladders. Called Sand Track. (what's in a name?)
During our next trip, because of the weather, I guess we will have some moments to test in the field how it all does its job.
Here some pictures of our Gear. Test results will follow after the Easter weekend.

This is the winch of the Van.
This is how it is build in.

It is a 14,000 lbs winch. Special heavy duty.
And this is our winch for the Frontera

and this is about it has been build in

Its a 12,000 lbs winch.
It looks now like this

We tested them already, but with hardly no footage. So we hope we can get some just to show of. haha.

And here are the Sand Tracks.

So, test results are coming up.

Greetings from Robert

Awesome information Robert.  Now I know what you're referring to regarding sand ladders.  I've been calling them "mud/snow tracks" lol.

Hello you all,

Last weekend we tried the Sand Ladders in tough conditions. And they did their job well. Just because I was buried very deep into the mud, it wasnt possible to get out with just the sand ladders, but they helped much. And because of the fact they were light and easy to find, Red on or in black mud helps, we used them much.
Even with the car buried deep into the mud, we managed to get the car out. And all the equipment used, Dragon Winch and Dragon Winch Sand Track worked fine.
Iam very happy with them.

Greetings from Robert

Thanks, Ive seen several brands on UK overland that aren't available stateside

I'd like to see a comparison of those one day

seems your gear might be built a tad better to the naked eye

Sorry that I see it just now. I think you can, problem could be the taxes and shipping costs. But you can ask them.
