Pacific BHW123 Stainless Steel Brake Hand Winch, 545kg Pulling, 270kg Lifting

The Pacific Stainless Steel Brake Hand Winch is the Grade 304 stainless steel version of the Pacific Brake Hand Winch, with a Weston-style brake that holds loads in any position (manufacturer-stated). The catalogue lists 3 models, with pulling capacity from 545kg to 1,200kg and lifting capacity from 270kg to 600kg. The item title names it as a boat winch.

The catalogue lists the Pacific Brake Hand Winch range with compact, lightweight and rugged construction, enclosed mechanical components, heat-treated gears, strong removable handles and a rope to drum fixing clamp provided (manufacturer-stated). It does not give a separate feature list for the stainless steel models, so these are the range features.

For each model the catalogue gives the lifting capacity, pulling capacity, gear ratio, cable diameter, cable storage capacity and net weight. The figures match the powder-coated winch of the same capacity. The catalogue lists cable diameter and cable storage capacity and does not say whether cable is supplied, so check this before ordering. The catalogue lists this range against Australian Standard AS1418.2 (manufacturer-stated). No certificate or test report is published for this product: if your site needs proof of compliance, ask for the maker's documents before you buy.

Common specifications

Key specifications

Figures are as printed in the Pacific Hoists catalogue (manufacturer-stated). Cable diameter is in millimetres and cable storage in metres.

Selecting the right option

Use the pulling capacity for pulling and tensioning and the lower lifting capacity for vertical lifts: keep the load inside the figure that matches how you use the winch. Check the cable diameter and cable storage against the cable you plan to run. The catalogue lists cable diameter and cable storage capacity and does not say whether cable is supplied, so check this before ordering. Lifting equipment must be used within its rated capacity, inspected before each use, and selected and used in line with your site lifting procedure and the applicable standards and regulations. Do not use it to lift or lower people. If you are unsure what suits your lift, speak to a qualified rigger before ordering. The catalogue does not state how the stainless steel winch performs in salt water or other corrosive conditions, so check suitability for your use.
