No not atall, you are spot on the money :thumbs

As it stands i still have absolutely no idea how to use this winch. I have an idea of winching but not actually setting up. I will need to meet with someone :thumb2

Thanks dude, I appreciate it.

I am very keen to play with the winch, I must find someone local that can give me a trial. Once I can safely operate it, it just learning better techniques

Just spotted this thread.....there is another one running in tandem about winches, they both come to the same route.......a serious piece of kit that is potentially very dangerous in untrained hands......these things have incredible stresses placed on them and their anchor points and vehicles at full load, subsequently if they go bang.......and they do......they cause severe injuries. HSE and Forestry/Agri safety boards have issued advisory leaflets and case histories. Think of them as the Highway Code.......if you don`t follow the `guidelines`.....watch out

Sorry it is this thread........old age creeping in.......but all my caveats apply.....

 

[AlexD333]

Any suggestions as to where I can get a demo of using it? Or atleast get some hands on experience (local) :nenau

 

[AlexD333]

I will have to investigate the cable tomorrow, it seems (from watching videos) that I am in need of a hook for the anchor end. Unless there is a preferred method?

We do use these in the Fire service, ours have the cable in a drum, attached to the winch, they can be dangerous.

 

[AlexD333]

From looking at my pictures is there anything i am missing to winch myself?

All the videos I have seen, seem to have a hook of some kind :nenau

 

[firebobby]

On yours, the cable must go through the main body, it needs setting up and seeing what's needed. PM sent

No problem bud, we all had to learn it

The pins unscrew from the shackles which, I think, should let you attach one to the fitting on the end of your winch cable :thumb2

Ahh I missed this previously :thumb2
