The “guy at the boat shop” gave some info that... well made things worse. This video set us straight and saved the day. Thanks for the video and for the great camera angles.
Duncan- we're glad the video was helpful! For any application involving lifting or lowering a load, like the drawbridge you mentioned, we recommend one of our brake winches, as they will hold your load when you stop cranking the handle.
So happy you clarified the "two-way" mystery. Thank you! I'm going to be pulling a 1200 LB golf cart up (and back down) a 6X10 trailer ramp into the trailer. Rather than going electric, I would prefer to use a simple strap hand winch like yours. You just mentioned a brake winch..... that's probably what I need. But, I still wonder if I used a cheaper non-brake winch, is it possible to just hold the handle tightly and just "let out" the strap as the golf cart goes down the ramp? In other words, I wonder if the brake is really necessary for my application.
The choice between a pulling or brake winch for the application you described is ultimately up to you. Pulling winches are often used in applications similar to the one you described, but a brake winch would provide another level of safety, especially if you plan to "let out" the golf cart when it's still attached to the winch. You could even get one of our brake winches with a freewheel lever (such as: www.dutton-lainson.com/proddetail.php?prod=14993), which would allow you to freely pull line off of the winch to attach to your load (you can watch a video about the freewheel lever here: ruclips.net/video/Pxw0p_KlfXY/видео.html) and then crank it in with the safety of a brake winch.
Thanks for your question! In our larger-capacity pulling winches (1,800 lbs. or more), we offer the option of adding a hand brake to the drive shaft, which allows for manually-controlled load releases. An example of a winch with a hand brake installed can be seen here: www.dutton-lainson.com/proddetail.php?prod=15504
Hi, thanks for your sharing that you did. Would you please let me know where to buy? And I need the one which can lift 700kg and 300m long, coz I want to use it for goods transportation on our mountain.
Thanks for reaching out, but pulling winches are not recommended for lifting applications. You will need to purchase a D-L brake winch (www.dutton-lainson.com/products.php?cat=19), worm gear winch (www.dutton-lainson.com/products.php?cat=20), or an electric winch (www.dutton-lainson.com/products.php?cat=16) without a clutch lever for your lifting application. However, please also note that you will not be able to fit cable or strap even close to 300m long on any of our winches. Our winches are designed for much shorter-length lifts and pulls than 300m.
Hello sir I m from india, I m ac mechanic i make ac lifting & lowering bracket with hand winch but m facing issue when lowering ac unit come so fast towards down so please suggest me right & best winch for up & down ac unit please suggest
Thanks for reaching out! In applications like yours where you are raising and lowering a load vertically, a D-L brake or worm gear winch should be used. Both of these styles of winches can be used in vertical lifting applications because of their built-in mechanical friction brakes that hold your load in place when you stop cranking the handle in either direction. Brake winches have a minimum load that must be attached to the winch for it to function properly. Worm gear winches do not have a minimum load requirement, but they operate much more slowly than our brake winches. More information about D-L brake winches can be found on our website here: www.dutton-lainson.com/products.php?cat=19, and more info about our worm gear winches can be found here: www.dutton-lainson.com/products.php?cat=20
+Ham549 Thanks for your question! We're not sure what you mean by a "bi-directional one-way clutch." Are you asking about our brake winches, which can be cranked in either direction and will hold your load in place when you let go of the handle (as long as the winch's minimum load is attached)?
+Ham549 Thanks for the clarification. We do not manufacture or sell any winches that have a bi-directional one-way clutch or BDNB like what you're describing, but our brake winches seem to be a close match, as they do not have a ratchet and they hold a load in place after you stop cranking the handle. However, some models do require the line to come off the top of the drum, and others require it to come off the bottom.
Sankar, we are sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your DL winch! Is it possible for you to call us with more info on the issue you're experiencing? Our phone number is 402-462-4141. If you can't call, please send an email to dlsales [at] dutton-lainson [dot] com, or respond here on RUclips with some more info. We need to know which one of our winches you have, are you lifting or pulling your load, etc.
I don't work for DL but I suspect you are using too small a winch and also should have selected a WORM gear winch which remains engaged in either direction and is self-braking. That's why they are used for heavy loads suck as tow trucks. DL do make very nice worm gear manual winches.

Thanks for the kind words, Tim! We're glad to hear this video set you on the right path!
Thanks for the video. Glad I watched it as I'm trying to find a wind in wind out system for a drawbridge. 👍

Thanks for sharing this video
Good work
excellent explanation, id like to release the load slowly without danger of go it too far out of control. is there any gadget to do that?

do you have any winches that utilize a bi-directional one-way clutch?

A bi-directional one-way clutch or BDNB dosen't rely on a rachet an holds the load no matter if the rope is running over or under the winding drum.
