Maxwald cable winches are useful machines for effective towing, lifting and pulling jobs. There are several types of winches and the right type of winch greatly depends on the nature of the job. A cable winch is mainly used to pull a heavy load horizontally on level surface or slightly inclined surface. Many people get confused between practical uses of cable winch and hoist. A hoist is used to lift the load vertically whereas winches are used to pull load horizontally How do cable winches work? A winch has a cable or a rope attached to the drum. The cable winch system creates a tension in the cable by pulling it thereby resulting in pulling of the load attached to the cable. In Maxwald cable winches, the drum is powered by hydraulics. The winch drum is designed to handle specific load. A simple cable winch has a cable wound around a drum or barrel. There are several applications of cable winches such as manufacturing industries where they are primarily used to move heavy equipment or tow boats, or automobiles. How to select the right cable winch? Cable winches are rated by maximum line pull capacity. The capacity of the drum is determined by the maximum load a cable winch can pull with only lower layer level of cable wound on the drum. The line pull capacity decreases by 10% with increase of layer. The size of the cable winch machine also depends on the weight of the object that will be pulled. If the object has wheels and you would be pulling it on flat surface, you can buy a cable winch with lower line pull capacity
