YZ3
Bulldozer
Controlled line pull for recovery and slope work — how the YZ3 hydraulic winch extends a bulldozer beyond pushing into safe towing and winching duty.

On steep grades, in forestry clearing, and during equipment recovery, a bulldozer’s tractive effort alone is not enough — the machine needs a rear-mounted winch with precisely controllable line pull that holds the load securely even when the hydraulic supply is cut.
Motor roles in this machine
- YZ3 — rear winch drive: An integrated hydraulic winch — THOTH motor, planetary reduction, wire rope drum, and multi-disc brake in one unit. The spring-applied brake holds full rated line pull automatically at loss of pressure.
- Low-speed metering: Smooth torque delivery at creep speed lets the operator inch a stuck machine or heavy log load without shock loading the rope.
Winch, drive motor, and brake arrive as one factory-tested assembly — one interface to engineer, one supplier to call. For sizing details or datasheets, contact our engineers.
