Investing in a construction Winch can be very helpful event. It allows you to have that extra pulling power that you may need when moving components or loads of material. However, problems can arise which can be quite frequent if you have the wrong line or you have installed it in properly. Construction winches are sold by many companies worldwide. You can evaluate each business before making your purchase. Here are some of the most frequent problems that are often encountered by owners of construction winches that are used by businesses today.
A Misaligned Spool
Each winch is going to have one or more spools. These are going to revolve around the shaft. When these are not installed properly, they could be off balance, or they may fly off due to inappropriate construction. The spool itself may be fine, but it could be the shaft, Gypsy head, or the double clutch(el embrague doble) that is causing the problem. It may take some time to determine why your spools are not properly extending or retracting your line.
Problems With The Gear Motor
The gear motor is going to have a couple different components. It has a hydraulic pump, and interlocking switch, and also a flexible coupling. One of the more common issues is for all of this to become loose. This is typically because of a deck that played that is not properly secured. If it is not working at all, it is likely the gear motor that is not running. It may also be disconnected from the hydraulic pump.
Issues With The Hydraulic Motor For The Winch
The hydraulic motor is the other problem that you may encounter. This is going to provide the power(proporcionar el poder) necessary for the cables, chains, or rope to pull in the heavy loads. If it is not hooked up correctly, or if it is not functioning at all, your ability to use the winch will be eliminated. You may also want to look at how it is connected which is done through the worm drive and spur gears. If the rotation is off, or if the gears have been worn down, you will not be able to use the winch at all.
How To Resolve These Issues
As with any piece of machinery, you only have two options when it comes to getting it back to normal. First of all, you can repair the individual components that are not functioning properly. The other option is to replace everything. If you decide to replace the entire unit, you should begin your research on the companies that manufacture them. You should find a business that is close by if possible which can save you time and money.
This list of the potential problems you may have with a winch should be noted if you have recently installed one. In fact, you may have problems with the installation itself. By looking at the gear motor, Gypsy head, bed plates, worm drives, and even the drums themselves, you are likely to find the flaw that is causing the problem. Purchasing a new one will likely be the best choice if it will be more expensive to fix the individual components. It will also give you more additional years of usage(años de uso) with your winch that is likely very important for your business.
