Dutton-Lainson's 24844 Brake Winch is used for horizontal pulling and vertical lifting applications. Built-in fully automatic friction brake holds load exactly in position when raising and lowering. It features a 3,500 lb. capacity, a 12.25" handle with an ergonomic handle grip and a 3.125" reel hub diameter. It is intended for a higher frequency and duration of use than DLB-series brake winches. Constructed with a zinc plated TUFFPLATE finish on the base and hardware and is powder coated black on the reel. Note: This winch requires a 500 lb. minimum operating load to function properly. All D-L brake winches are built for multipurpose hauling and lifting operations. They are not to be used as hoists for lifting, supporting, or transporting people, or for loads over areas where people could be present.
