COMEUP Winches are going back to Antarctica

[COMEUP]

COMEUP Winches are going to Antarctica again with Russian Team Marine Live-Ice Automobile Expedition. They will drive two ATVs Yemelya, with five trailers and two sledges, autonomously (carrying all the fuel, food, etc.) during two months will endeavor to travel about 6000 kilometers, mostly over the dome of Antarctica, at altitude above 3500 meters and at temperature down to – 50°C.

Two COMEUP DV-6s are mounted in front of their expedtion vehicles. They are not just as recovery equipment but also be as hoists for fuel drums.

Nice use of the winch without the fairlead when used to lift drums. I like that.
