J. R. Clancy Offers New Models of PowerLift Motorized Winches
In response to recommendations and requests from customers, J. R. Clancy, Inc., has announced the addition of two new models to its PowerLift motorized winch line.
The PowerLift Variable Speed 0-20 fpm motorized winch (product number 018-P0220V), has a load capacity of 2,000 pounds. The new winch fills the need expressed by users and consultants for a motorized winch with no "bounce" at the start or end of a move.
In addition, Clancy has added the PowerLift Fixed Speed, 20 fpm motorized winch with a load capacity of 1,200 pounds (product number 018-P0212).
"Some projects require short battens with only a few lift lines," said Tom Young, J.R. Clancy's vice president of marketing. "PowerLifts use 3/16-inch lift lines, with a recommended working load of 525 pounds. This new PowerLift solves the potential problems with a three-line hoist using a winch that's rated for 2,000 pounds." When the winch has more capacity than the hoist's three lines, Young explained, operators risk overloading the lines and putting more stress on the batten than it can handle. "We're limiting the capacity of the winch so that it does not overload the lines," he said.
