How does a rope winch operate?
The two jaws alternately pull the wire rope and the load in the required direction. The operation is like pulling on a rope with both hands. The clamping jaws are self-locking, which means extra safety during your operation. The more the rope is burdened, the better the claws will clamp. By operation of the release mechanism, the wire rope can be inserted between the jaws. The wire rope is fed straight through the hoist. As a result, the wire rope passes through the hoist. It is not reeled onto a drum of the winch like an ordinary winch.
The wire rope winch has two handles on top of the winch, a forward handle, and a reverse handle. You place the extendable supplied handle on the forward handle or on the reverse handle. These levers transfer the force to the hoist's claws. The names say it all, one lever is for pushing the rope forward and the other is for pulling back the wire rope.
The device is equipped with an anchoring pin. With the anchoring pin, the wire rope hoist can be quickly attached to a suitable anchoring point.
