"Towing
systems" company has thirty years tradition in manufacturing
various engineering products in automobile and agricultural industry. Since
1992 production programme is based on towing and braking systems, and today
the main products are: tow-bars, bull-bars, various gear for delivery and
terrain vehicles, winches and all types of towing systems and equipment
for paragliders and hanggliders.
In 1992 paragliding club "Paranoia" was established and soon after that idea about developing hydraulic drive stationary winch for paragliders and hang gliders appeared. Although we knew that we are considering the most expensive and complex possibility of ground towing, we were strongly determined, because pilot s safety, simplicity and precision of tow force regulation were our main goals. After two years of examining, improving and
perfecting we completed our hidraulic drive stationary winch. Here
we must not forget the engagement of club's friends and manyside experienced
paragliding pilot Igor Bugarinovski. |

Stationary winches we are manufacturing today are equipped with one or two drums, and our assortment has extended to HYDRAULICALLY BRAKED PAYOUT WINCHES (for boat towing also) and STATIC TOWING SYSTEMS based on hydraulic tensiometer, so we cover all types and forms of ground towing. Although our production programme has expanded, our primary and most important task remains MAXIMUM SAFETY FOR PILOT, no matter which towing system we use. Here I would like to thank a few people who helped with our first winch and this web page: Ljiljana for translation, Vojo for pictures from the air and many test flights, Toni for test flights, Stjepan Krajina for translation and correcting the text about towing, Boris for pictures from the air and camera, Ivica Knežević for pictures from the air, Tone Svoljšak, Vanja for technical help and many other pilots who regularly responded to promotions and competions, and last but not least Siniša for designing this web page.
