The 40 Access Winch can mount to tripods, trailer hitches, and firmly anchored objects such as large trees to raise and lower diverse loads in various applications.

Maximum rated load for lifting & pulling load applications: 500 kg (coefficient ratio 5:1 of breaking load); Maximum rated load for human suspension: 280 kg (coefficient ratio 10:1 of breaking load); marked in accordance with the Machinery Directive and EN13157.2004 standard.

WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS. You must carefully read, understand, and follow all of the warnings and instructions in the User Manual provided by Harken in order to avoid an accident. Never, under any circumstances, exceed the maximum rated load.

Harken’s patented shaped grip greatly reduces rope wear compared to an abrasive surface grip. The drum geometry reduces problems with overrides while allowing loads to be lowered in a smooth and controlled manner.

The Access Winch can pull in an unlimited length of rope like a capstan, exceeding the finite range of a reel winch. Unlike a capstan, the Harken self-tailing Access Winch allows for one-person operation, securing the rope against slipping while the winch is in use or under a static load, and automatically stripping rope off the drum when winding.

Tough composites and Hardkote-anodized aluminium reduce weight for demanding and mobile back-country use.

Stainless steel and bronze in the mechanics of the winch make it strong, durable, and corrosion resistant.

Harken winches are designed for minimal maintenance. Simply clean and lubricate the winch periodically as described in the product manual. The low-friction composite bearings do not require any lubrication.
