Abstract: A vehicle winch detachably connected to a vehicle comprises a line drum, a motor and a driving unit detachably connected to each other in order to be manually moved as separate units to a place at a distance from the vehicle and at that place be detachably connected to each other again. The motor is separated from and lacks connections with the vehicle when the winch is working at a distance therefrom.
Abstract: A winch having a drum and a gearbox, wherein the gearbox houses planetary gearing for driving the drum, and a coupling device for selectively changing the rotational speed of the drum. The coupling device comprises two interconnected dog elements which are rotatable by the winch motor and are positionable along the rotational axis of the drum at three locations to variously engage the drum and/or gearing for a selected drum speed.
