Intended Use The Ultra-Tow Brake Winches are built for multi-purpose hauling and pulling operations. They are not to be used as hoists for lifting, supporting, or transporting people or for loads over areas where people could be present. Brake winches are suitable for many lifting and lowering applications. Self-locking brake winches provide additional safety and control for many lifting and pulling jobs. The automatic friction brake supplies constant, positive holding action and prevents a runaway load.
