This small, lightweight, collapsible, and portable winch is perfect for shallow-water marine research: underwater video, hydrophones, water sampling, sediment sampling, you name it! It mounts to a pedestal so it can be used on the edge of a dock or fixed in a small boat or dinghy for versatility in research locations. It could also be used as a geological field winch for inspecting short boreholes or other ground holes. Its small size.
It is a manual winch that includes a ratchet mechanism that can be engaged to prevent the reel from unwinding. It can either be hand cranked, or fitted with our standard drill adapter for driving the winch using a hand drill.
This unit is completely assembled and ready for purchase. As is, it includes the following features:
- Drum: for cables with minimum bend radius < 6.625"
- The drum is currently loaded with ~80m of acoustic cable used with hydrophones, which is available for purchase with the winch if desired
