FAQ

What is the difference between a spur gear and a worm gear hand winch?

Spur gear winches are more efficient, so they take less effort per turn and are well suited to pulling. Worm gear winches run in an oil bath and resist back-driving, which makes them a good choice for lifting and holding loads.

Do I need an automatic brake?

For lifting, yes. An automatic brake holds the load when you let go of the handle. Thern offers automatic brake models in both the spur gear and worm gear lines.

Can a hand winch be driven with a drill?

The 4WM2 worm gear winch is designed to be driven with a standard drill for faster operation.

Do you supply wire rope for Thern hand winches?

Yes. We can supply wire or synthetic rope assemblies cut to length with the right end fittings for your winch.
