Winch Cable Tie Backs

This 7" replacement spring fits the Zip's Tie-Back Tube for Vulcan V24 and Century 312 12-ton wreckers. This spring plays a vital role in protecting the winch and winch line and preventing equipment damage in case the wrong lever is mistakenly pulled. By design, this internal spring fits inside the tie-back tube and provides adequate slack or cushion. When installed correctly, the spring should also give ample audible warning to alert the tow operator to stop the winch operation.

We get it. Tow operators get in a hurry when they're under pressure. Law enforcement is often breathing down their neck, and they want to get the road open as soon as possible. Mistakes can happen, and the wrong hydraulic lever can be pulled. If they’re not paying attention, an expensive steel winch line can be accidentally stretched the tieback hook normally is the failure point and compromised, ultimately putting it out of service.
