Classification of winches

Classification of  winches

1. Mechanical PTO winch Because the power is directly taken from the engine, the torque is super strong, and the toughness and durability are very good. However, the disadvantage is that the car cannot be used when the car rolls over and the engine is unable to run. Moreover, its size and weight are large, and the applicable models are quite limited. .

2. Hydraulic PTO winch The hydraulic PTO winch needs to be equipped with a special oil pump to connect to the engine, which is not only heavier but also more complicated to install.

3. Hydraulic winch The pulling speed of the hydraulic winch is constant and not fast, and the installation is quite complicated. Moreover, it uses the oil system of the original car's steering assistance, which will "thin" its oil pressure. It is not suitable for any car. It needs to be modified to be more powerful. The booster pump is more assured, but it does not have much heat dissipation trouble.

4. Electric winch The electric winch obtains power from the car battery to drive the motor and drive the noose. This kind of winch is very convenient to use, because it can stand anywhere and operate the winch through the knob on the remote control. This kind of winch has an advantage, that is, even if the engine cannot be started, as long as there is electricity in the battery, the winch can be operated.

Maintenance precautions

1. After use, the steel cable is twisted like this, be sure to loosen it, re-wrap it, and then put it away.

2. If the winch and wire rope are dirty, they must be cleaned thoroughly. Use a little lubricant to help prevent rust.

3. If the winch is used for a long time, it will put extra load on the battery. Therefore, the battery should also be checked and maintained frequently.
