A winch is a mechanical device that is used to pull in (wind up) or let out (wind out) or otherwise adjust the "tension" of a rope or wire rope (also called "cable" or "wire cable").
Features (depending on model)
- Multi-disc brake, spring-applied and hydraulically released
- Large selection of high efficiency motor options (low flow/high flow)
- Anti-friction bearings throughout, all parts running in oil
- Overrunning clutch preventing fall-back
- Patented brake valve for smooth lowering of the load
- Full load wire rope anchor for additional safety
- Planetary gears with different ratios to suit individual applications
- High tensile cast iron drum and housing in one piece
- Dual rating for Utility and Personnel
- Designed in accordance with ANSI/ASME B30.5 & B30.7
- 5:1 design factor for Utility Hoisting at rated load
- 8:1 design factor for Personnel
- Enclosed oil bath, "wet" disc brake for outstanding load control
- Exclusive overrunning clutch prevents fall-back
- Winch mounted throttle
- Marine Grade polysiloxane paint
Applications
Drilling, mobile and stationary crane applications, pipe bearings, forest industry, diggers, marine applications, offshore applications respectively applications with explosion protection, caterpillars, tracked vehicles
