Portable Winch PCH2000 Gas-Powered Pulling/Lifting Winch GX160 - PW,PCH2000

The Almighty: The PCH2000 is the most powerful winch available; performing the most demanding tasks smoothly.

Design: The PCH2000 has a capstan drum that allows to maintain a constant force over an unlimited length of rope at a speed of 66 feet per minute. It is also the first model to offer a 4-1/4'' anodized drum. By oversizing the drum, the friction surface is expanded and it results in better load control. Through anodic oxidation treatment, the PCH2000s drum features better wear resistance and does not increase the rope conductivity. These attributes make it ideal for its assignment to tasks around and on electrical structures! 

Developed for lifting: The PCH series benefits from its own unique clutch and rope Progressive Capture System (PCS). Once the rope is inserted into the grabbing system, the operator activates the clutch and initiates the movement by pulling the rope horizontally. At any time, the operator can decide to stop lifting and hold the load in mid-air. It is also possible to pull on the handle of the cord attached to the PCS to disengage it and lower the load, while controlling the main rope in the descent.

Performance: Powered by the Honda GX160 cc engine, the PCH2000 features an unprecedented pulling power of 2,530 lb and a lifting capacity of 990 lb in a single line. Of course, a block and tackle system will allow you to increase its capacity!
