SA9015AC StrongArm Electric Winch with Remote Specifications:
What makes StrongArm® electric winches different? Design: -is more compact, allowing it to fit into tight applications like cranes, davits, etc. -is safer, as cable is enclosed inside the cover. On open-reel models, fingers can get caught in cable as it’s reeled in, and any frayed strands can cause cuts. -protects cable, so it’s not exposed to the elements, which accelerates wear and rusting. Unique features: -Clutch release. User can pay out load in “neutral” and still control it with clutch mechanism. Competitive models can only free-wheel with no load on winch, so the only way to let load out is by using the motor - slower, extra wear and tear. -Spur gear system vs. planetary gears. A planetary gear system generates much more heat, and draws more amps from the power source. Because the motor and gears are attached directly to the spool, the heat build-up from running the winch transfers directly to the drum and cable, to the point the statement “WARNING: The drum and wire rope may get very hot” is required. In contrast, the StrongArm winch’s spur gear system is much more efficient, it gives off less heat and draws fewer amps
