How to attach a cable winch?

Cable winches are primarily used for moving loads. There is a wide range of devices to choose from, including hand cable winches that must be operated manually and are suitable for pulling objects. Electric cable hoists , on the other hand, can be used for pulling, moving, and occasionally lifting and lowering loads. Cable winches with trolleys are movable and suitable for particularly heavy loads. In order for the lifting equipment to be used reliably and safely, it must be correctly secured. For a secure hold, stable support points are combined with screws and washers. The manufacturers usually supply the appropriate fastening material.

Electric cable winches with an integrated trolley are attached to the installation site using a profile steel beam and can be moved along the beam. The trolley must first be screwed on to an electric cable winch. It is then adjusted to the respective width. You can now connect the cable winch and trolley to one another and then attach them to the H-shaped steel beam.
