Winches | Choosing the right winch
A winch is a device designed to pull or lift loads by means of a cable that is wound around a horizontal cylinder called a “drum”, or a chain that rotates around a drive “nut.” Winches can be manual, electric, pneumatic, hydraulic or have a combustion engine. Winches are lifting and traction equipment found in industrial sectors such as metalworking and construction for lifting and moving heavy loads, in the maritime industry for lifting boats, in the automotive...

How to choose this product
winch

A winch is a mechanical device for pulling or lifting heavy loads. It uses a motor or a manual crank or lever to unroll and roll up the cable or chain to which the load is attached.

Applications

These devices are typically used to handle heavy loads, including the removal of damaged vehicles from the road. They are found on elevators and facilitate operations requiring maintenance workers to descend into silos, pits, bridge pilings and sewer tunnels. At sea, they are employed in barge mooring and towing, and anchor handling via a vertical capstan or horizontal windlass. They are also used on cranes and rescue helicopters.

Technologies

The winch drum is turned by an electric, pneumatic or hydraulic motor, or by a manual crank or lever. Purchase is multiplied by the use of a gear motor, planetary gearing or a worm gear. In most cases the cable is wound on a drum, though there are also drumless models.

The control box has buttons for rolling and unrolling the cable, as well as an emergency stop. A ratchet or centrifugal brake prevents the sudden descent of the load. An electric brake can be used to safely lock the load in position. The winch often has overload protection and end-of-travel sensors to limit cable movement.

How to choose

Choice will depend on required length of travel and power, expressed in weight capacity or in Newtons.
