SYRACUSE, NY — J. R. Clancy, Inc. said its new PowerLift variable speed 0-20 feet per minute motorized winch can minimize “bouncing” at the start or end of a move. The new winch (product number 018-P0220V) has a load capacity of 2,000 pounds. The company is also introducing its PowerLift fixed speed 20 feet per minute motorized winch (product number 018-P0212), with a load capacity of 1,200 pounds.
“Some projects require short battens with only a few lift lines,” said Tom Young, J.R. Clancy’s vice president of marketing. “PowerLifts use 3/16-inch lift lines, with a recommended working load of 525 pounds. This new PowerLift solves the potential problems with a three-line hoist using a winch that’s rated for 2,000 pounds.”
When the winch has more capacity than the hoist’s three lines, Young said, operators risk overloading the lines and putting more stress on the batten than it can handle. “We’re limiting the capacity of the winch so that it does not overload the lines,” he said.
