Radial winches were designed from the deck up with three key ideas in mind:
safety and long-lasting performance, streamlined installation, and
hydraulic/electric upgrades as part of the design rather than afterthoughts.
Powerful, Efficient, Dependable: The details make the difference.
•The gripping surfaces of Radial Winches are shaped, and do not depend on
friction to hold the line
•The winch top is completely covered, so fingers and clothing do not get caught
in moving parts.
•Seasonal maintenance is exceptionally easy; the top lifts out as a single unit,
making reassembly quick and mistake free.
Integrated Stripper Arm: The strong, one-piece stripper arm completely
covers the winch top for a stable platform that prevents fingers and clothing
from catching on moving parts, an important safety feature, particularly when
operating powered winches. The arm can be adjusted to multiple positions after
the winch is mounted, and is shaped to smoothly feed line into and out of the
spring-loaded self-tailing jaws.
Lightweight, High-strength Materials: Composite roller bearings and
bushings reduce friction under load, have excellent corrosion resistance, and
don’t require lubrication.
•Snap-fit design keeps bearings captive in a high-strength Delrin® cage when
drum is removed for maintenance.
•Load-carrying gears and pins are 17-4PH stainless steel for strength and
durability.
•Weight savings of 25 to 50 percent compared to the Classic Harken line.
Easy to Service and Maintain: Winches can be disassembled and serviced on
deck. The socket, washer, and screw-top snap-fit together to simplify
maintenance and for mistake-free assembly. Larger sizes available by Special
Order. Three-year warranty.
