A winch that works

A winch is like your emergency lifeline when the terrain gets tough or the load gets heavy, that is why looking after your winch is very important. Winch-In has shared some safety tips when operating your winch, these include.

  • Do not exceed the rated capacity of your winch.
  • Allow your winch to cool between uses.
  • Never cut, weld, or change any part of the winch or cable.
  • A minimum of five wraps of cable around the drum barrel is necessary for pulling and holding the rated load.
  • Disconnect the remote control and battery leads when not in use.
  • Use gloves to protect hands when handling the cable. Never let the cable slide through your hands.
  • The vehicle engine should be kept running during operation of the winch to minimise battery drain and maximise power and speed of the winch. If the winch is used for a considerable amount of time with the engine off, the battery may be drained and too weak to restart the engine.
  • Get to know your winch before you actually need to use it.
  • Inspect the wire rope and equipment before each use. A frayed or damaged rope must be replaced at once.
  • Inspect the winch installation and bolts to ensure that all bolts are tight before each operation.

Winch-In can also aid with winch accessories like gloves, anchor straps or chains and heavy blankets that can absorb energy should the wire rope break.

You can maintain your winch by following these tips;

  • Periodically check the tightness of mounting bolts and electrical connections. Remove all dirt or corrosion and always keep your winch clean.
  • Do not try to disassemble the gear box. Repairs should be carried out by the manufacturer or an authorised repair center.
  • The gearbox has been lubricated using a high temperature lithium grease and is sealed at the factory. No internal lubrication is needed.
