FAQs

What is the maximum weight this hand winch can pull?

Can this winch be used to secure a load for transport?

Is assembly required before use?

No assembly is typically required. The winch is ready for use after securely anchoring it and attaching the load.

How does the disengageable clamp work?

The clamp allows you to disengage the wire rope clamping mechanism when no load is applied, enabling you to pull the wire rope out freely without winding it.

What materials is the winch made of?

The winch features an aluminum housing with a steel mechanism inside for durability.

Can children operate this winch?

No, this is a powerful tool and not a toy. Children should be kept away during operation, and it is intended for adult use only.

What is the weight of the winch itself?

The machine's net weight is 24.6 kg.

Troubleshooting

Winch does not engage or pull

Ensure the wire rope is correctly seated in the clamping mechanism. Check that the handle is properly engaged and that there is tension on the rope.

Wire rope is difficult to pull out freely

Verify that the load is fully released, allowing the clamping mechanism to disengage. Check for any kinks or obstructions in the wire rope.

Loud noises during operation

Inspect the internal mechanism for any foreign objects or damage. Ensure all bolts and connections are tight.

Reduced pulling capacity

Confirm that the load does not exceed the maximum travelling load of 4800 kg. Check the anchor point's integrity and the wire rope's condition.
