For high capacities and long life, these winches have a powerful hydraulic motor and hardened steel gears. They have an automatic brake that holds the load when the motor stops. Enclosed gears offer protection from dirt and debris.

For wire rope, see Wire Rope with Hook for Winches.

Note: Capacity is highest for the first layer of rope (at least five wraps of rope on the winch) and decreases as each additional layer of rope is wound on the winch.
