 Winch
is a stationary motor-driven or hand-powered machine that is used
for hoisting or hauling, having a drum around which is wound a rope
or chain attached to the load being moved. A hydraulic winches is
driven by a hydraulic motor, the fluid pressure coming from a hydraulic
pump driven by the main engine of the four wheel drive.
Hydraulically operated
winch is ideal for all types of specialized transport from low-bed
operations to wreckers equipment and can be set up to operate either
singly or in combinations. They are reliable, rugged and built to
last with user friendly simple lever operated controls. They are
an excellent addition to crawlers, skidders and all-terrain vehicles.
The stationary usage is also possible. The hydraulic winches can
also be clutch-operated that makes for an easier and safer usage.
Hydraulic winches
add weight to a vehicle extremity and may require stronger springs.
Winching is potentially dangerous and thus, some precautions need
to be observed. A snatch strap or any other other elastic device
should not be used with a winch. Good equipment should be used and
damaged winch cable should be discarded. The hydraulic winch does
not require the extra battery and isolator that is compulsory in
an electric winch.
