FAQ

Common questions

Is Flipper™ robust enough for intensive use?
Yes: CNC-machined 6082 aluminium alloy and 316L stainless steel joints. It's built for real maneuver loads, season after season.
Can ropes get tangled under the handle?
No: in the closed position the handle stays folded on the winch and ropes run free, with nothing in the way.
How does the folding mechanism work?
A patented system that folds the handle onto the winch when not needed: you open it only to grind, without ever removing it.
Is it compatible with all winch types?
Yes: the universal star attachment fits most standard winches on the market.
How do I maintain it?
Rinse it with fresh water after saltwater use and periodically lubricate the folding mechanism: that's it.
How is it covered by warranty?
A 4-year warranty against manufacturing defects, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee.
