The TEW25H-01 winch has been designed to comply with all the relevant safety requirements for lifting loads. Two fully automatic, fail safe braking systems are incorporated into the unit. The first is situated directly in the transmission line and functions every time the winch controls are operated. The second is mounted in direct contact with the rope drum and is controlled by sensing system acting on the main drive chain and the hydraulic oil pressure. In the unlikely event that the chain should fail, or all hydraulic pressure lost, then this second brake would automatically apply and hold the load.
All components used in the manufacture of this winch are designed to offer a 5:1 safety factor based on the safe working load of this winch.
