Rotrex, sister company to LGH UK, and a leading provider of winch hire, sales, and support services, announces a significant investment in expanding its European rental fleet with the addition of UP40 and UP50 winches manufactured by OMAC in Italy.

This investment further strengthens Rotrex’s position as the frontrunner in the winch rental market and caters to the growing demand for higher capacity winches, required across multiple diverse projects in industries including telecommunications and utilities.

The UP40 and UP50 winch offers superior performance, constantly maintaining maximum pulling capacities of 40kN and 50kN respectively, impressive rope speeds of up to 13m/min under full load capacity, and generous rope capacities of up to 1500m, which combined, minimise labour costs. Their lightweight structure and composite canopies further enhance their capability for safe towing on the highway and site.

Built with cutting-edge technology, the UP-range features onboard data recording for convenient data transmission and analysis. Customers also benefit from ongoing technical support, demonstrations and training from Rotrex’s expert team. Rotrex, renowned for its commitment to customer satisfaction, ensures prompt delivery throughout Europe.

Don Wilkinson – Rotrex Group’s Sales Director – stated: “We constantly analyse the market, focused on delivering the best solutions and supporting our customers’ project success. The rise in demand for higher capacity winches, particularly 5t models, led to this investment. This ensures we have the right equipment to meet our customers’ evolving needs.”

This fleet expansion further strengthens Rotrex’s long-standing partnership with OMAC, a leading winch manufacturer. As the exclusive UK distributor, Rotrex remains committed to collaborating with OMAC to bring the latest and most reliable winch solutions to its customers.
