A slotted tensioner, also known as a manual winch, is a mechanical device that pulls cargo by manually cranking the winch reel. The gear-driven winch rope reel pulls the load by rotating the wire rope wound on it. It is equipped with an automatic brake for safer operation. When the winch rope pulls the load and the winch reel remains stationary, the brake will automatically open in position. The hand winch is an alternative to the car winch when various rescue work is required. Its advantage is that it is portable and can be attached from any direction of the car. The lightweight and sturdy electroplated pressed steel construction with steel cable pulleys pulls the unit propelled by two internal forks. When the winch is in forward mode, these forks pull the cable, which is also an automatic braking system. When the handle is increased, the forks will automatically lock. The safety tensioner can also be used for lifting (lifting force is about 65% of the resistance). Application: home, mobile, transport or storage, cargo pulling, car pulling, etc.
