This winch is lightweight, portable, gas operated and has a 2200 lb pulling capacity. If you ever need to bring down hung-up trees, pull out-of-reach logs, get a vehicle un-stuck, or haul a big game animal , the PCW5000 is for you. Weighting just 35 pounds this Portable Winch is easily carried and can be anchored to anything using the 6' long sling provided or the different anchoring accessories available. Use the Portable Winch with any length of double braided polyester low stretch rope. We offer these ropes in many lengths. The rope is tied to the object to be moved and wound three or four times around the capstan drum. When the engine is running, the 57 mm capstan drum rotates continuously and the friction created by pulling on the free end of the rope pulls the object. With the 57 mm (2-1/4'') capstan drum, the load will move at a speed up to 40'/min, depending on the weight of the load. You can also buy the 85 mm (3-3/8'') capstan drum which will give you up to 60'/min.
