Whether for telecommunications structures assembly, for lifting various equipment on a site or simply for pulling loads, the PCH1000 is versatile and safe. In addition, a wide variety of anchoring systems are available so you can easily do your setup. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Located between the engine and the gearbox, the clutch system ensures that the capstan drum does not rotate when the engine idles. Once the rope is inserted into the PCS, the operator activates the clutch and initiates the movement simply by pulling on the rope horizontally. The rope grabbing system prevents the rope from slipping on the drum and holds the load when the rope is released. The winch can also be used to lower a load by disengaging the Progressive Capture System. To do this, the operator should simply pull the handle of the grabbing system cord and control the main rope during the descent. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Equipped with the 4-stroke GXH50 Honda engine, the PCH1000 develops a pulling force of 1,710 lb and offers a lifting capacity of 550 lb in a single line setup.
