Most people probably think of outdoor applications for portable winches, but this battery-powered capstan winch is indoor-friendly! We wanted to highlight one of the less common use cases here in our warehouse. If you don't have a forklift, but you need to move something heavy, a winch like this may be a good option. For this demo, we used the kit, which includes an anchor strap, 164 feet of polyester rope, a sling to put around the item you're pulling, and a carabiner to hook the sling to the rope. We tied a basic loop into the end of the rope to put the carabiner through. When using a capstan winch, keep these things in mind: - Anchor the winch to a suitable structural element using properly rated straps or slings; - Load the line in the proper direction; - Apply back tension to the line (essentially, pull with the winch) to maintain proper friction on the drum; - Be sure to not overload the winch (remember that the floor will add friction, effectively increases the overall work the winch has to do. #RiggingEquipment #PortableWinch #TrusttheLift
