Rigging Winches come in two sizes and provide the user with lightweight, portable winches that are mounted to a sturdy adapter plate. They have extra tall drums to accommodate more wraps of rope for use when extra lifting capacity is needed. More wraps mean increased rope to capstan contact area, which leads to high efficiency when pulling. They can be mounted to a tripod. They are simple to use and ideal for a diverse range of lifting and load-pulling applications.
The Rigging Winch 750 has an extra tall drum to accommodate 5 wraps of 22 mm (7/8") rope, which is commonly used by arborists, but can be used by anyone needing extra strength for heavy lifts. More wraps mean increased rope to capstan area, which leads to high efficiency when pulling. The winch has two settings providing a 44:1 and 22:1 mechanical advantage, which allows a single ground person to lift, lower, and lock off tremendous loads quickly and safely.
Stainless steel load-carrying gears and pins provide strength and durability. Sealed gearbox and high-load roller bearings reduce friction under load. Roller bearings are corrosion resistant and do not require lubrication.
