Made in the USA from caste aluminum to ANSI B30.21 specification for lever operated winches. Individually tested to 125% capacity. The reversible handle is designed to bend when too much pressure is applied to avoid overloading. Quick release lever to allow the cable to be pulled out freely. Maintenance free bearings lubed for life. Open frame construction for easy inspection and cleaning. The hooks are drop forged, heat treated steel made in the USA and the cable is flexible, aircraft grade with a special lube for long life. The drum anchor at the end of the cable is ball swaged, which locks the cable securely to the drum allowing for full extension of the cable. Over 1000kg pulling power on a double line (the Lincoln 2250-20 has an integrated block and hook).
