Forklift Winch - Winches are mechanical tools which can pull up or wind out the tension of a cable, wire rope, rope or a wire cable. These devices, in its most basic form, are made of a hand crank and a spool. More complex winches are found at the heart of machinery like elevators, steam shovels and tow trucks. At times the spool could be called the winch drum. Elaborate designs have gear assemblies that can be driven by hydraulic, electric, pneumatic or internal combustion drives. Some winches can include a mechanical brake or a solenoid brake or a ratchet and pawl device in order to stop it from unwinding unless the pawl is retracted.
Generally, the rope is stored on the winch. There is similar machinery called a capstan that does not store the rope. In sailing, when trimming a line on a sailboat, the crew member works the handle of the winch with one hand while tailing the other to be able to maintain tension on the turns. Various winches have a stripper or cleat to maintain tension. These designs are called "self-tailing" winches.
Frequently, winches are used offstage as part of the mechanism in order to transfer backdrop in big theatrical productions. Many times the winches are actually embedded in the stage floor and utilized to be able to move huge set pieces off and on stage.
Lately, winches have been made in particular designs for snow and water sports. This new generation of winches is designed to pull riders swiftly across a body of water or of snow. This could stimulate a riding experience that is usually supplied by a snow mobile, wave runner or a boat.
