SELECTING THE CORRECT ‘K’ SERIES MODEL

• In lifting applications it is a legal requirement to use a wire rope with a minimum factor of safety of 5:1. The maximum diameter of the rope that can be used on each model is shown in the table above and is determined by the ratio of rope to drum diameter
• Winch rating and maximum mechanical rating is based on the first layer of rope on the drum. The capacity reduces by approximately 10% for each extra layer of rope on the drum
• K series winches do not include a freespool
• The mechanical force required to achieve the Maximum rated line pull is approximately 18kg
• Always select a winch model that will be operating well within its maximum capacity to ensure easy operation and safety
• For maximum efficiency use only the amount of wire rope on the drum required for the application plus 2.5m
• A minimum of 5 wraps of wire rope must be maintained on the drum at all times
