FEATURES
Maximum Grip – The drum’s gripping surface is designed
specifically to work with the drum diameter and material to
maximize gripping power and reduce rope wear. Diagonal
ribs stop the rope from rising (keeping rope wraps on part
of drum where you have the best control), prevent
overrides, and provide a smooth controlled release as rope
exits the winch.
Spring-loaded, self-tailing jaws adjust under rope pressure
to accept a variety of rope diameters. Teeth grip evenly
with or without load.
Lightweight – overall weight only 7kg
Powerful – 2-speed gearing allows optimum use of
manpower to deliver power and speed.
Reliable & Easy to Maintain – Composite roller
bearings and bushings don’t require lubrication and have excellent corrosion resistance. This ‘metal-
replacement’ material is completely non-reactive to saltwater and most chemicals, and has very good wear
and abrasion resistance under maximum operating loads.
Load-carrying gears and pins are 17-4PH stainless steel for strength and durability.
Planetary gears are bronze to avoid stainless-on-stainless galling.
Winches can be disassembled and serviced where mounted.
Easy Line Control - Locking jaws hold loaded rope securely during operation and while suspended. The
stripper arm is shaped to smoothly feed the rope in and out of the jaws so the operator can use both hands
to turn the winch. The stripper arm adjusts to multiple positions after the winch is mounted so rope exit
position can be optimized.
SPECIFICATIONS
Maximum Working Load:
Winch: 500 kg

DESCRIPTION
Lightweight CE certified portable winch, mounted on an adaptor place.
The winch can be utilized in many applications; from utility masts, telecoms, marine, wind-turbine transition piece,
davits, stage and theatre rigging.
The adaptor plate can be affixed in a number of ways, dependant on the environment and industry; from ratchet
straps, M10 bolts, karabiners, to scaffold clamps. This makes for a truly universal and adaptable lifting solution.
