What the remote shows

The TowTechniks remote control gives the winch operator complete control over the entire tow. The high-contrast display shows all critical telemetry in real time: the current tow load in kilograms, the line payout speed and automatic low-line warnings. With electronic load limiting and the built-in emergency line-cut system, safety is front and centre on every launch.

Display & measurement

  • Live line tension readout in kg
  • Electronically limited tow load: never above 100 kg in solo mode, never above 130 kg in tandem
  • Released line length in metres (1500 m on the drum)
  • Low-line warning on the display, about 250 m before the end of the rope
  • Payout speed in km/h — around 20 km/h gives the pilot the best climb
  • Beep and flash on every drum revolution — 8–10 per second indicates a good vehicle speed

Counters & buttons

  • Daily tow counter (resettable)
  • Lifetime tow counter (no reset)
  • Solo / tandem mode switch
  • Guillotine button (emergency line cut)
