The Morris Wormgear Winch (WG) is available in capacities from 250kg to 3 tonnes. High capacity models are fitted with a dual speed feature as standard, which allows rapid lifting of light loads. Supported within a robust one piece steel frame, the drum winch can accept up to 40m of wire rope. The drum incorporates a freespooling release catch (except the 250kg model) which allows rapid manual rope pay out. It is driven through a worm gear mechanism which incorporates a heavy duty ratchet brake.
