An electric winch is a mechanical device used to pull or lift heavy loads using an electric motor. It consists of a spool or drum that winds a cable or rope, allowing for controlled movement of objects. Electric winches are commonly used in various applications, including construction, towing, and off-roading. These winches come in different sizes and capacities, making them suitable for both light and heavy-duty tasks. They are often powered by a vehicle's battery or a dedicated power source, providing convenience and efficiency. Safety features, such as automatic brakes, help prevent accidents during operation.
