How many meters away should the winch be installed from heavy objects

A winch is a small lifting equipment that can vertically lift, horizontally pull, tilt and drag heavy objects. Compared with chain hoists and electric hoists, it has the advantages of convenient use and flexible and versatile operation methods. Therefore, it is widely used in various occasions such as construction, road and bridge construction, mine lifting, car rescue, fire rescue, etc.

During the process of placing the winch, the operator should try to choose the installation position of the machine at a distance of 15 meters away from the heavy object. This way, after the machine is started, there can be a good buffer to avoid damage to the heavy object, machine, and surrounding people or things caused by a short traction time.

In addition, the installation ground of the machine should be kept flat and firm, avoiding traction operations on poor ground such as sand and mud pits, otherwise it will affect the normal operation.

Secondly, when installing a winch, it is also necessary to choose a location with a wide and good view, especially for night operations, and sufficient lighting devices should be prepared to prevent traction accidents caused by poor visibility.
