Hooks must have a safety latch and a minimum rated capacity of 300kg. Use only high tensile grade 80 or 100 to comply with BS EN14492 part 1 & 2 standards. (Hooks supplied as standard from BHW Group Ltd are rated and stamped for lifting and have a safety factor of 4:1.) Hook capacity for these machines is selected to ensure they are large enough to take webbing straps).

CWG WINCH - FEATURES OVERVIEW The electric motor on the winch drives the drum via the integral planetary gearbox. The winch has an automatic brake which will apply when the operator release the control button and ceases either winching in or out. The automatic brake will also operate in the event of a power supply failure. The winch is fully capable of winching in or out using the wanderlead control as the task dictates.
Ropes should be spin resistant, galvanised 18 x 7 wire core. Replacement ropes and hooks should be of the same relevant calibration and are available from BHW Group Ltd sales. Please refer to the section on Parts (pages 14-17). WIRE ROPES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS Protect the hoist from unsuitable environmental conditions. The motor is IP54 rated, the wanderlead control is IP65 rated. Avoid temperatures under -10° C or above 40° C. Conditions with humidity above 90% may also affect hoist performance.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY CHECK ALL EQUIPMENT: The winch, power lead, wanderlead, wire rope - and any chains, ropes and slings used for lifting should be continually inspected for damage or obvious wear that could make them unsafe to work with. Damaged accessory items should be replaced, not repaired (See notes on Routine Maintenance, page 12). MAKE SURE THE WINCH IS SAFE WHEN UNATTENDED: Before leaving a winch unattended, the operator should lower any load onto the floor or on to an appropriate support and disconnect the winch.

WIRE ROPE INFORMATION ISO 4309:2004/2010 – WIRE ROPES DIRECTIVE NOTE: ISO 4309:2004 / 2010 details guidelines for the care, installation, maintenance and examination of wire rope in service on winches, hoists and cranes, and enumerates the discard criteria to be applied to promote the safe use of the machinery.
TAKING CARE OF THE WINCH CWG winches are a valuable item of equipment for working on site, but care should be taken to ensure the winch is packed away and stored in a responsible manner to minimise potential damage to external parts. It is recommended that either a suitable storage suspension point is fitted to vehicles or storage areas, or at least that the winch is protected by a suitable storage bag, protective covering or kept in a storage box.
TROUBLE SHOOTING Below are some tips on trouble shooting with a CWG winch, further advice is readily available from the BHW Group Ltd. SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIONS No power Faulty wiring on power lead or poor electrical source Check power lead and power source...
