What is a brake winch?

A brake winch, also known as a hand winch, is a mechanical appliance. It pulls the cargo by shaking the winch drum by hand. A gear-driven winch rope drum pulls the cargo by turning the rope wound around it. The brake winch is equipped with an automatic sharpening device, which makes the operation safer. When the winch wire rope pulls the goods and the winch drum remains still, the brake winch will automatically open. When various rescue work is required, the brake winch is another option besides the vehicle winch. Its advantage is that it is portable and can be connected from any direction of the car.

Brake winch installation fixation method

1. Install the winch: open the package and take out the winch. Secure the nut on the handle to the trapezoidal worm gear at the end of the gear ax so that the inside of the nut is next to the friction piece. Then, tighten the screws and shims.

2. Install the wire rope of the brake winch: Loosen the hexagon screw on the left fixing plate of the brake winch reel, and take off the fixing plate from the wire rope and the screw with an oval head and a square column. Wind one end of the wire rope clockwise around the reel and pass the other end through the long, round, arc-shaped hole on the left side of the guardrail. The exposed length of the line rope should be 7-10 cm. Insert a screw with an oval head and a square post through the square hole on the left side of the reel from the inside out. Place it in the wire rope retaining plate, turn the wire rope around this screw, and pull it back to embed the wire rope in the retaining plate. Then tighten it with a hexagonal nut, and shake the handle to make the wire rope wind on the reel. When winding the wire rope, keep it under tension.

3. Use three screws and nuts to fix the winch to the base, and the base can bear heavy loads.

8 precautions for using brake winch

2. The brake winch cannot be overloaded.

3. Still, broken, or rusted, If the line rope is damaged.

4. When the brake winch is working, do not fasten the hook at the end of the wire rope to the wire rope, so as not to wear the wire rope.

5. When pulling the goods, the steel wire rope should be kept perpendicular to the reel. Otherwise, the steel wire rope will be easily worn.

6. When pulling heavy loads with a winch, use a pulley to reduce the load on the winch and wire rope.

7. When the wire rope is wound on the reel less than 5 circles, please do not use the winch to pull the goods. Otherwise, the fixed plate will not be able to bear the heavy load and accidents will occur.
