Arrowhead Winch

Manufacturer of industrial hydraulic winches, planetary hoists and drives under the BRADEN, CARCO and Gearmatic brands, with marine and offshore hoist lines.

About

Arrowhead Winch brings together three brands. BRADEN has built recovery winches since 1924. CARCO supplies tail winches for tractors used in recovery and steep-slope work. Gearmatic began in 1946 in Vancouver, British Columbia, when founder Frank Lawrence introduced the quick-shift Gearmatic transmission, and in 1960 it built the first winch driven by a hydraulic motor with planetary gearing. Pacific Car and Foundry Company (now PACCAR) acquired Gearmatic in 1963, and Gearmatic introduced ROTO-VERSAL drives in 1968. Today the Gearmatic brand focuses on hydraulic planetary winches and hoists for mobile crane, marine and pipelaying applications.
