Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between a hand winch and a power winch?

A. The main difference is that a hand winch is manually operated using a handle, while a power winch is powered by an electric motor or hydraulic system. Power winches are often preferred for heavy-duty applications or when continuous operation is required, while hand winches are more suitable for occasional use or situations where electricity or hydraulics are not available.

Q. What should I do if the hand winch handle becomes difficult to turn?

A. If the handle becomes hard to turn, it could be due to rust, debris or lack of lubrication. Try cleaning the winch mechanism and applying lubricant to moving parts. If the problem persists, there may be internal damage or wear that requires inspection and possible repair by a qualified technician.

Q. What should I do if the hand winch handle becomes loose or detached during operation?

A. If the handle becomes loose or detached during operation, stop the winching operation immediately and inspect the handle and attachment mechanism for damage or wear. Tighten any loose fasteners or replace damaged components as needed before resuming operation.
