Hand Winch

Hand Winch (with handle & wire rope)

As a device for lifting or hauling, the machine has innumerable uses and applications.

The rope enables the load to be lifted, lowered or hauled considerable distances without changing the position of the machine and in conjunction with the SWR blocks, permits the most convenient position to be selected for fastening the machine.

The machine unit consists of a steel casing enclosing two pairs of automatic jaws which grip the steel wire rope passing through the casing. These two pairs of jaws are moved in opposite directions by means of linkages when the handle is operated backwards and forwards. This alternating operation of the handle results in a hauling or lifting movement of the rope, which, if properly anchored, causes the load to be hauled towards the machine.

• Extremely versatile to safely lift, pull, lower or stretch loads over long distances.
• Can be used in horizontal, vertical or angled working positions.
• Lightweight and compact design.
• Steel housing with durable chrome finish to protect against rust.
• All internal components galvanised.
• Unique wire rope reeler allows for easier and safer rope storage.
• The rope gripping system is easily disengaged, allowing smooth installation of the wire rope.
• The reliable parallel gripping system has a large surface contact area providing an evenly distributed grip at a lower force.
• Built in overload protection by a shear pin arrangement in the forward lever. Broken shear pins can be replaced without removing the load.
• Spare shear pins are supplied with units.
• Equipped with an anchor bolt, offering numerous connection possibilities with wire ropes and chain slings.
