Electric winches are mainly used to drive lifting equipment in industrial production. In addition, the use of vehicle mounted electric winches is also very extensive. The power source of vehicle mounted electric winches mainly comes from the vehicle's own power system, which can be regarded as an integrated structure.
The main purpose of electric winches for vehicles is to assist in getting out of trouble when the vehicle is stuck, so electric winches are the most common on off-road vehicles. It can be said that if an off-road vehicle is not equipped with an electric winch, it does not have the ability to go off-road at all. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of electric winches for cars?
Advantages: The electric winch can be used normally even when the vehicle is turned off (which is its biggest advantage that cannot be compared to other winches), especially in areas with high water content. It is easy to install and can achieve multi position installation and rapid displacement.
Disadvantages: Electric winches cannot be used for a long time due to limitations in the vehicle's own power system and susceptibility to overheating. Most electric winches can provide limited driving force and can only apply force in one direction. When installed in front of the vehicle, they can only be pulled forward, and when installed at the rear, they can only be pulled backward.
