Harken Chrome High Capacity Drum Rigging Winch 500

The 500 and 750 High Capacity Drum Rigging Winches feature an extra tall drum to accommodate five wraps of rope, for use by arborists and other industries where extra lifting or lowering capacity is required. More wraps mean increased rope to capstan contact area, which leads to high efficiency when pulling. Rigging winches allow a single ground person to lift, lower, and lock off tremendous loads quickly and safely, without tying knots. Both models have two settings: one for more power and one for increased speed. The 500 model provides a 13.50:1 and a 39.90:1 mechanical advantage for ropes up to 12 mm (1/2”). The 750 model provides a 44:1 and a 22:1 mechanical advantage for ropes up to 22 mm (7/8”). POWERFUL The High Capacity Drum Rigging Winch 500 has a maximum working load of 500 kg and the 750 model has a maximum working load of 750 kg. FIBER ROPE The winch is designed for use with fiber rope up to 12 mm (1/2”) in the 500 model and 22 mm (7/8”) in diameter in the 750 model. Smooth surfaces and chafe free design reduces rope wear. The unique drum design maximizes grip on the rope. DURABILITY Stainless steel load-carrying gears and pins provide strength and durability. High-load roller bearings reduce friction under load. The roller bearings are corrosion resistant and do not require lubrication.
