Sala produce the most used series of winches for personnel descent and rescue. The majority of our customers that specialize in work requiring this type of device have tried others brands in order to save a little money, but have found that the Sala advanced digital series of winches stands up to the day to day exposure their environments provide. We like to try and keep at least one of these units as the lead time can be 4-5 weeks if air freighted, and up to 4 months by sea.
