Raising and lowering equipment into confined space can be impossible without this durable winch. Even with a 300 lb. capacity, it is lightweight and portable, allowing easy mounting on guard rails. The side pieces are constructed of high tensile, heavy gauge aluminum with a durable yellow finish that resists weather and wear. The winch bar is constructed of rugged high tensile steel tubing with a 3" drum for fast recovery. Two independent ratchet systems, and a double-disc automatic brake offer load control and security. The 1/2" x 36' Dura-Plex braided rope is strong and durable.
