Goliath brake winch for cable with protective structure. - Load held without any action on the crank handle. GOLIATH has been designing and making, for more than 30 years, winches that are used in a great number of industries. The manual winch is a safety device governed by strict technical rules and whose design is framed by the European standard EN13157 A1. Here are some criteria to be taken into account to select the right winch. Lifting concept Always select a brake winch. According to the European standard EN13151 A1, a lifting application is characterised by the lifting of a load in connection with a vertical and/or horizontal movement. Thus, towing a car on a trailer, for example, is a lifting operation. The winch associated with this operation must be compliant with the standard EN13157 A1 to be EC marked. It must in particular have a permanent safety brake when loaded (as the range of ratchet winches does not have a self-braking system, it is therefore not suitable for lifting applications). This device is crucial to ensure your safety and the compliance of your facilities. The winch safety brake makes it possible to hold the load when all action on the handle is stopped.
