Horse Float Winch Handle Grip
Spares support for older Horse Float products is patchy at best. Reproducing the winch handle grip locally is often quicker and cheaper than the hunt for old stock. We've made this style of part before and can usually print yours without drama.

Why these break
Winch grips perish and spin on the handle. The original was moulded thin to save cents at production volume. That was fine when the plastic was fresh — twenty years on, there's no margin left in it.
How we reproduce them
This is a quick job on our end — we take dimensions from your old part, adjust for print tolerances, and run a small batch so you have spares for next time.
We print these in TPU. TPU is flexible and grippy, so it absorbs the impacts and vibration that crack rigid plastics, and it is kind to the surfaces it touches.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
