Swing on a quad bike

riding on off-road transport in difficult conditions is an undoubtedly exciting adventure. You choose the route and go where you just want. But with such trips, there are not the most pleasant moments that drivers are sooner or later faced. One of them is to get stuck in a swamp, water or sand at the most inopportune moment. Isn't the most pleasant feeling? To get rid of such problems, you can buy a winch that will help in such situations.

What does a winch need?

Quad bikes are used for ride not on the perfect surface-potholes, swamps, sand, in dirt, etc. To get out of them can be very difficult. But if you have such a beautiful tool as a winch - the problem is no longer like that. With the help of the traction effort created by it, you will easily and quickly get out of the trap. And the time you would spend on the fight against pulling out your transport - you can devote a fascinating ride and see a little more than a ton of dirt or sand. Therefore, a quad bike win is very important for both enthusiasts and tourists who prefer extreme types of entertainment.

How is the winch arranged?

It is a drum with a rope, on one side of which is an electric motor, and on the opposite-a gearbox. They are connected by means of a shaft of power selection (located inside the drum), which is intended to transfer the torque from the engine to the gearbox. In turn, the gearbox reduces the number of revolutions and increases the traction effort due to the planetary type mechanism with gears. Its rotation is transmitted to the drum, which winds the cable, getting a stuck vehicle or other objects.

What traction effort do I need?

This is almost the most important parameter when choosing the desired model. The weight of the load depends on the traction effort, which the winch will be able to tear from the surface. In the characteristics of the model it is often indicated in pounds (LBS).

made by a particular model of effort depends on:

• drum diameter;
• engine power;
• the number of wound turns;
• the number of gears and gearboxes.

When choosing, you do not need to give preference to the most powerful models.They are expensive and heavy that in the case of an ATV is not the best option. It is better to choose the following methods.

• <400 cubes-the 2000 LBS winch;
• 500-600-optimally 2300-3000 lbs;
• 700-800-3000-3500 lbs;
• > 1000-from 3000 lbs minimum. 

can still be chosen based on the necessary traction effort. To choose the right product in this way you need to know the weight of your motto. For example, if weighing about 500 kg, then the effort should be at least 1200 kg. This coefficient (1: 2,5) is applied to each weight of the vehicle. You can find this figure in the characteristic or name of any model. In imported goods it is listed in LBS. 

To translate into the "kilograms" understandable to us, we need to multiply the parameter in pounds by 0.454. Thus, having the characteristics of the stated traction effort of 2000 pounds - we will get 907 kg. For a small, light quad bike, weighing up to 400 kg with such a traction effort will be a great solution.

Cable material

Today, there are two main types in the market-synthetic and metal. The choice between them depends on the maximum load, service life and specifics.

Metal is a simple, cheap and heavy option. With inept use, it can cause injury or damage the equipment. It requires special gloves to work with it.

synthetic-depends largely on the quality of the manufacturer and the manufacturer, but in any performance has several advantages. Such as: ease of operation and storage; Little weight; durability; safety when used. Working with it is allowed without the use of gloves. They are the most popular option today. 

What should the winch be like?

The market presents just a lot of options for many manufacturers, so you can definitely find the right product both by characteristics and by the budget.

what is worth paying attention to:

• traction effort is the most important factor when choosing. You can calculate the desired instructions above the text.
• engine power-it should be quite powerful.When choosing, do not forget about the factor of 1 to 2.5 and the option you want will have the right power.
• control method-by means of a remote control or buttons installed in the car. For your safety, it is better to prefer remote control, as in the event of a cable break you will be at a safe distance.
• cable material-about the advantages and disadvantages we wrote above. Here the choice depends directly on your preferences.
• Manufacturer-It is very important not to buy cheap Chinese models collected from poor quality components.
