Winching is a process that involves using a mechanical device called a winch to pull or lift heavy objects. This device typically consists of a spool or drum around which a cable or rope is wound. Winches are commonly used in various applications, including construction, automotive recovery, and maritime operations, to move loads that are too heavy to lift manually. The operation of a winch can be powered by electricity, hydraulics, or manual effort. When the winch is engaged, it can pull objects toward it or lift them vertically, making it an essential tool for tasks such as towing vehicles, hoisting equipment, or securing loads on trucks and boats.
