The planetary gearbox is designed for transferring the largest torque in the most compact form. It is a kind of gearbox with the input shaft and the output shaft aligned. It is used to turn the input in the same direction as the output. The planetary gears have many advantages, including higher gear ratios, popular for automatic transmissions and compact size.

If you require a fast line speed, compact and light weight designs, a planetary winch can be a perfect option.

How to Select The Right Winch?

In order to select the most appropriate winch for your application, there are a few things you need to think about:

• Is the winch for lifting or pulling?
• The required load capacity or pulling force. For lifting a load, the winch is directly sized by the weight of the load and the wire rope. For pulling, figuring out the winch size is rather complicated because of many variables.
• What rope length and diameter are required to be stored on the drum?
• What speed is required?
• How is the environmental condition? Or do you require insulation?
• What motive power is required – electric or hydraulic?
• What type of control do you require? Local or remote control?
