The HyQuest Solutions Models WS250, WS400 and WS500 Gauging Winches are our latest generation of portable type single drum winches. The WS250/400/500 is used in conjunction with a current meter and a gauging weight for the measurement of water flow in streams where wading is a difficult task, hence measurement is performed from a boat or a bridge.
Colombus gauging weight in sizes of 7, 15, 23, 34, 45 and 68 Kg. This assembly is suspended from the WS250/400/500 gauging winch with armoured signal cable. HyQuest Solutions provides a range of counters to operate with the WS250/400/500 winch. The models available are CMC20A, CMCsp, PVD100, PVD200 and the HydroTab/CMCbt android device.
