mechanism .

(2)

Braking System - Braking action is
automatically applied to the winch drum
when the winch motor is stopped and
there is a load on the wire rope .

(3)

Winch Drum - The winch drum is the
cylinder on which the wire rope is stored .
It can feed or wind the rope depending on
the remote winch switch .

(4)

Planetary Gear System - The reduction
gears convert the winch motor power into
extreme pulling forces . This system allows
high torque while maintaining compact
size and light weight .
