    and Right-Side

    Handle

    These winches are designed for occasional use. An automatic brake holds the load when the handle is released. To lift, mount winches above the load or use winches with a pulley that's mounted above the load.
    Note: Capacity is highest for the first layer of rope (at least five wraps of rope on the winch) and decreases as each additional layer of rope is wound on the winch.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Enclosed Gears—Enclosed gears offer protection from dirt and debris.
    Left-Side Handle—Winches with a left-side handle are more comfortable for left-handed users to operate, and can be used in spaces where right-side handles can’t fit.
    Right- or Left-Side Handle—Winches with a right- or left-side handle are convertible, letting you easily switch between your left and right hand.

    Because this winch runs on compressed air, it gives you a longer operating time than electric winches. It has an automatic brake that holds the load when the motor stops. To lift, mount winch above the load, or use winch with a pulley that’s mounted above the load. Enclosed gears offer protection from dirt and debris.
    Note: Capacity is highest for the first layer of rope (at least five wraps of rope on the winch) and decreases as each additional layer of rope is wound on the winch.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    These winches operate longer and require shorter breaks than standard air-powered winches. Because they run on compressed air, they give you longer operating times than electric winches. They have an automatic brake that holds the load when the motor stops. To lift, mount winches above the load, or use winches with a pulley that’s mounted above the load. Enclosed gears offer protection from dirt and debris.
