Vehicle rescue vehicle winch usage method

When playing outdoors, people usually rely on car winches to carry out rescue or self rescue when their self driving vehicles are in trouble. Car winches are usually installed on car guardrails. During rescue operations, it is necessary to understand the installation position of the winch, the usage method of the steel cable, the fixing steps, etc., in order to ensure better vehicle rescue operations.

1. Installation position: Try to install the winch near the axle or longitudinal beam as much as possible, so as not to easily damage the balance of the vehicle. The winch fixing position of SINOORE's professional 4X4 protective bar basically meets the above requirements.

Due to the highest possibility of getting stuck while driving forward, some people like to install the winch at the rear of the vehicle. However, if you want to rely on another vehicle for assistance or to get out of trouble forward, the most effective position to install the winch is at the front of the vehicle. The winch drum should be as close as possible to the centerline of the vehicle, and the lower the position where the steel cable is pulled out, the better.

If the distance between the steel cable and the ground is too small, a piece of wood should be placed on the ground to cushion the steel cable.

2. Guidelines for using steel cables: The winch itself is a very powerful tool, but sometimes if you don't pay attention to the use of steel cables, you can't fully utilize the function of the winch. If a winch is needed to complete heavy work, the direction of the steel cable should be changed, which is also the direction of force transmission. At this time, one or a set of pulleys can be used. When using two wire steel cables, the load borne by the winch is half of that when using one wire cable, and when using three wire steel cables, the winch only needs to bear one-third of the tension. But the more steel cables are used, the longer it takes to roll the cables. The Zhonghuang car winch has a high-speed winch, which can make up for this deficiency and buy you more time to get out of trouble.

3. The fixing steps of steel cables: When using a winch to rescue another vehicle, the first thing to consider is which direction is the safest and most effective to pull the vehicle out. If the dragging direction is not correct, the vehicle may sink deeper and even damage the vehicle. The basic principle is to drag along the direction of motion when the vehicle gets stuck.

If the vehicle is stuck on a hillside, it is safe to drag it upwards. If it is dragged downwards, it may accidentally overturn the vehicle and the trapped vehicle may even collide with rescue vehicles.

If the steel cable is long enough, double or triple wire can be used to reduce the load on the winch. If single wire is necessary, try to bring the distance between the two vehicles closer.

Another factor to consider is the angle at which the steel cable is wound onto the drum. Adjust the position of the trailer as needed to wind the steel cable around the drum at the correct angle. If the angle is not correct, the steel cable may slide to one side or even fall off during cable retraction.

The above is the knowledge about the use of car winches. In addition, it is difficult to rescue vehicles with manual winches, which are auxiliary equipment. If the steel cable is used cleverly and the angle is slightly changed, it can also be very helpful for rescue.
