Winches for Forklift

Forklift Winch - A winch is a mechanical tool that specializes in pulling in or winding up or letting out or winding out the tension of a wire cable, cable, wire rope or a rope. It its most simple form it is made of a spool with an attached hand crank. More complicated winches are seen at the heart of machinery such as tow trucks, elevators and steam shovels. Occasionally the spool can be referred to as the winch drum. Elaborate designs have gear assemblies that can be powered by internal, hydraulic, electric or pneumatic combustion drives. Several winches can include a mechanical brake or a solenoid brake or a pawl and ratchet mechanism in order to stop it from unwinding unless the pawl is retracted.

Generally, the rope is stored on the winch. There is similar machinery known as a capstan that does not store the rope. In sailing, when a line is trimmed on a sailboat, the crew member works the handle of the winch utilizing one hand while tailing the other in order to maintain tension on the turns. Several winches have a stripper or cleat to be able to maintain tension. These designs are known as "self-tailing" winches.

Often, winches are used offstage as part of the mechanism in order to transfer backdrop in big theatrical productions. A lot of times the winches are really embedded in the stage floor and used to be able to transfer large set pieces off and on stage.

The new generation of winches have been made for snow and water sports enabling the riders to be pulled quickly across a body of water or of snow. This can stimulate a riding experience that is typically supplied by a snow mobile, wave runner or a boat.
