Giant Wire Winder Also Rolls Up Silo Bags
 ✖  |
“It’s designed for utility companies to wind up electrical cable. But it also makes quick work of rolling up fence wire and plastic bags,” says Traver DeMaranville, TC Machine, Inc., about his company’s new skid loader-mounted wire winder. It was on display at the recent Husker Harvest show near Grand Island, Neb.
The hydraulic-powered winder is made out of 2-in. round tubing and comes with a skid steer bracket and a hydraulic motor, which operates off the skid loader hydraulics and chain-drives the wire winder. The wire is held in place by a pair of 4-ft., 2-in. dia. rollers, which mount on hinged brackets and are each fitted with a half-pipe. When the winder is full, the operator retracts a pair of hydraulic cylinders to pull the rollers out and dump the roll of wire.
“It rolls up wire quickly and can wrap up four strands of barbed wire at a time. It’ll hold up to 30 cubic feet or 4,000 lbs. of product,” says DeMaranville. “It works great for fencing contractors because it has so much capacity. They can use the skid loader to load the wire onto a flatbed truck. A see-through metal guard on back of the unit protects the operator in case the wire ever becomes loose and snaps back.
“Several of our customers are using it to wind up plastic silo bags. They pinch the bag between the spokes on the rollers to get the bag started. The bag pulls in and forms a wad as you’re winding it up.”
The wire winder sells for $5,790. You can see it in action at www.wirewinder.net.
