A power gambrel consists of a metal frame, hoist, and pulleys. This type of equipment can be used to safely skin a variety of animals and portion out meat that is getting ready to be processed.
Less Labor
A basic gambrel consists of a metal frame that contains hooks. This type of gambrel needs to be manually operated and may require a hoist and pulleys to be purchased separately. Some gambrels may be designed to hold a certain weight class. A multi-use hunting gambrel that is electrically operated can be adjusted to accommodate the lifting of large or small animals.
A hunter can use this type of tool for virtually any animal that they hunt. A power-operated hoist and pulley system will lift animals up from the ground, eliminating heavy labor. Some gambrel models may contain a remote control attachment. This will allow a user to stand back from where an animal is going to be lifted. The touch of a button will activate a power gambrel. A remote control can be used to both lift and lower an animal carcass.
Diversified Applications
Some hunters choose to dress their kills while they are out in the field. A multi-use hunting gambrel is lightweight and can be transported with other hunting gear. Because there is a short timeframe in which a fresh kill should be butchered, using a gambrel while actively hunting will minimize meat spoilage. A hunting gambrel can also be an asset to someone who will be processing meat at their home or place of business.
If an individual owns land that they hunt on, they may appreciate the convenience of being able to skin and butcher animals on their property. A gambrel can be attached to a tree limb or can be attached to a permanent indoor fixture. Once an animal's hindquarters have been secured to the hooks on a gambrel, the hoist and pulleys can be activated. After an animal is elevated a few feet from the ground or the floor, a hunter will be at eye level with the animal and will be able to make calculated cuts through the hide.
This will improve the precision that is used to prepare fresh cuts of meat. The amount of meat that will be wasted may be minimal since the gambrel will allow full access to each part of an animal. A quality gambrel will be constructed of stainless steel. Stainless steel is a hygienic material that will not contaminate the meat that it comes into contact with.
