Powering Your Adventures and Tasks

At Dragan Systems, we're passionate about creating innovative tools that empower you to tackle any challenge, whether you're deep in the backcountry or working around your property. Our flagship product, the Dragan Pocket Winch, embodies this passion by delivering unmatched power and portability in a revolutionary design.

The Inspiration Behind the Dragan Pocket Winch

The idea for the Dragan Pocket Winch sparked from a personal experience of our co-founder, Jake Ruhl. While cutting wood with a chainsaw, Jake found himself in a frustrating situation – the chainsaw became deeply stuck in a log, with so much tension that it was impossible to remove by hand.

Reaching for his heavy and cumbersome come-along, Jake successfully freed the chainsaw. However, the sheer size and weight of the come-along in that moment ignited a thought: "Why can't there be a powerful winch that's actually portable?"

Drawing upon his extensive experience as a founder of Gravitas Solutions, a mechanical and electrical engineering firm, Jake envisioned a modern winch that could fit in your pocket, yet still deliver significant pulling power. This vision, combined with the engineering expertise of his co-founder at Gravitas Solutions, Ryan Neil, led to the birth of the Dragan Pocket Winch.
