Electric winches and supports

Unlike other methods of lifting and transport that are made by "push" and ground level, such as cats, electric winches perform lifting and moving heavy objects "pulling" and dragging and generally from an airborne position, on a support or beam type "train". Undoubtedly, it is one of the handiest in a workshop when performing mechanical work, sheet metal and paint, can operate with very heavy objects for comfort tools.

An electric winch is basically a drum attached to a surface on which it is rolled and unrolled a rope or steel cable exerting a pull on the objects you want to raise or drag. The drum is driven by an electric motor through a control handle according to the operator the need to release or wind the cable.

What should we keep in mind when buying an electric winch?

If we look at the technical specifications offered by different models of electric winches we will find specifications such as capacity, elevation, speed, cable length, resistance or work. Address each of these elements is essential when choosing our machine that meets our real needs. But fundamentally, we will attend to capacity, which refers to the maximum load that the product supports. It is expressed in kilos and is measured by the number of turns of wire around the drum, at most laps lower strength electric winch.

All models of electric winches to find Bricolemar are monophasic, so we recommend focusing on the different load capacities and engine power to choose the one that best fits your needs.
