Classification Of Scraper Winches (Part 2)

1. Electric Winches.Electric winches are another multitask winches that use electricity as a source of power to pull the wire cable.They have electric motors that rely on an electric battery or direct source or electric power.Which helps spin the magnet and wind the reel with the help of flowing current on opposing poles.This type of winches is quite easy to carry and smaller in size.They are well known to be used where other sources like diesel are not available in enough demand.Electric winches are used for short cycle working, which is less than a day.They are portable, which means you can carry them around.The best thing is that they can also work on battery power.So if you want them with you in boats or trucks, you can power them with your vehicle battery to tow a car or waterski.

2. Mechanical Winches.Mechanical winches use mechanical power directly from your vehicle engine and run the reel of the winch.Shifting of gear from one to another drifts power in the drum with the help of turning shafts, producing tension in the wire.These mechanical shafts are more powerful than the electrical ones and produce double power than normal electrical winches.Another thing worth mentioning is that they work on vehicle engines with which they are attached.So no extra fuel cost or anything.Just run the Car, and it will wind the way down on the reel.

They have 3 other different types:2.1 Capstan Winch.Capstan winches also use engines as their power source.Still, instead of turning gears, they use crankshafts to produce and use the energy for winding purposes.They work the same as mechanical drum winches (the engine should be running).But are different in assembly.2.2 Hand Operated Winch.This is another type of mechanical winch in which rope wire is winded and released by a series of clamps.This can work without a running engine and can be operated easily by one person.2.3 Portable Winch.This simple mechanical winch works independently of the vehicle with which it is attached.Portable winches are mostly handmade, and consist of a drum winch hooked up with a chainsaw. It can be used to hook up or tow vehicles.

3. Hybrid Winches. Hybrid means a combination of more than one object which could be the same or different.These winches are made from spare parts of old winches.They can use multiple power sources like water motor pumps, electric sources like batteries, etc.Due to their hybrid nature, they are named hybrid they are quite cheaper as well as efficient than normal winches.
