The high-quality Portable Winch™ PCW 5000 combustion engine winch is known for its lightness (16 kg) and high pulling power for its size. The winch is equipped with a reliable Honda 1.8 kW 4-stroke engine. The pulling capacity of the winch is 1000 kg in direct pull and 2000 kg with the pulley wheel. The winch works well as a tool for forest work as well as for leisure use. The winch is supplied with a polyester belt suitable for positioning the winch.

Important to remember when choosing equipment for winching
The maximum capacity of the winch must be much greater than the resistance of the average loads pulled by the winch. Correctly dimensioned loads extend the life of the winch and enable a momentary increase in load, e.g. when a log hits an obstacle.
Whenever possible, use a running cone or a similar aid that reduces the friction of the platform and the risk of sticking.
The tensile strength of the steel wire or rope used for pulling should be at least 2 x greater than the maximum capacity of the winch used.
The breaking strength of the auxiliary pulley wheel should be at least 2.5 x greater than the maximum capacity of the winch used.
The breaking strength of the anchor belt to be attached to the pulley wheel or winch should be at least 3.5 x greater than the maximum capacity of the winch being used.
The diameter of the pulley wheel, calculated from the bottom of the groove, indicates the maximum diameter of the steel wire or rope to be used. The diameter of the steel wire or rope may be a maximum of 10% of the diameter of the wheel.
