It is important to read this fully before deciding on the specific type and model for your chosen application and please speak with our technical department if you require assistance.
• For any lifting applications select a 'K' series model.
• 'K' series models do not include a freespool facility.
• In pulling applications where positive load control is required in both directions select a 'K' series model.
• When loads are being pulled horizontally on the flat or up an incline select a 'T' series model remembering that if the load is being let down a slope it is restrained by the operator as the winch is wound out. On the two speed Models only an optional friction brake is available that will provide some assistance. (Carry out a risk assessment and if there are any concerns about letting out the load then select a 'K' series model).
• All 'T' series winches include a freespool facility.
• The winch capacity stated on all models is the force exerted in the rope, wire or strap on its first layer when 18kg is applied by the operator to the winch handle. As the layers on the drum increase the force exerted by the winch for the same applied force will diminish by approximately 10% per layer. For this reason it is essential to select a model that is working well within its rated capacity.
• All 'K' series models are designed for use with wire rope. If they are being used with webbing straps they can be modified at the factory for this purpose on request.
