Areas of application and tractive force of winches
There is a very wide range of applications for cable winches in everyday practice, the requirements of which often cannot be covered by just one type. In principle, the following characteristics apply to a cable winch - regardless of the drive:
- Clutch: allows the pull rope to be quickly unrolled in order to detect more distant objects as well
- Remote control: winch control by radio or cable (depending on equipment)
- Cable guide: the winch cable winds reliably only onto the cable drum
- Pulley: increases the pulling force of the winch
Traction force up to 800kg:
electric and manual versions, they are suitable for trailers on which the corresponding loads are towed, e.g. compact class rollable cars, motorcycles, boats on trailers, mobile wood splitters - in short, everything that is movable. Disassembly is party possible
Traction force 1,000kg to 3.5t:
electric and hydraulic versions, up to 1,100 kg also with manual operation. They are used on medium- and high-capacity trailers, lighter towing platforms, off-road vehicles, car transporters, as forestry winches, etc.
Traction force 4t to 5t:
both electric and hydraulic winches are available. They are particularly suitable for more powerful tow trucks for recovering motor vehicles, unimogs, heavy tractors, fire engines, etc.
