WINCH MAINTENANCE
Though winches don’t actually come in contact with the
load, their function of tightening and anchoring the
webbing or cable is critical to the security of over-the-road
cargo hauling.

To insure winches will perform, a quick inspection before
each use will assure they are undamaged and working
properly. Damaged or non-operational winches should be
replaced immediately.

For optimum performance, winches should be cleaned to
remove dirt, mud, road salt, and ice. Lubrication ensures
that gravity will allow the winch pawl to drop freely into the
sprocket teeth, and the sprocket will rotate freely. When not
in use, portable winches should be cleaned and stored in a dry
location. With a little care, your winches will go a long way.
