The coupling plate has a first portion positioned perpendicular to the top plate. The winch mount assembly further comprising a lower mount assembly. The lower mount assembly having a lower coupling plate. A cross member receiver formed by a first portion of the coupling plate, a security plate and a first portion of the lower coupling plate. The winch mount assembly further comprises a winch.

In one aspect, a screen cleaning device for cleaning a bar rack of a screen includes at least one clearing element for picking up and removing screenings retained by the screen. The screen cleaning device also includes a lifting winch relative to which a first pulling means and a second pulling means can be wound and unwound, wherein the clearing element is moved along a lifting direction as the pulling means are wound and unwound. Additionally, the screen cleaning device includes at least one actuating device configured to manipulate the second pulling means such that the clearing element is swiveled between a clearing position and an open position. The second pulling means is connected to the lifting winch at a first end and to the actuating device at a second end. Moreover, the second pulling means is guided via a return mechanism which is mounted on the clearing element.

A winch drum tension isolation system includes a winch drum having an outwardly extending flange. The flange includes a plurality of holes spaced along the flange. The winch drum tension isolation system also includes a locking mechanism positioned proximate the winch drum. The locking mechanism includes a locking member engageable with the flange, the locking member movable between a first position, in which the locking member is received in a first one of the plurality of holes to prevent rotation of the winch drum, and a second position, in which the locking member is spaced apart from the flange to permit rotation of the winch drum. The winch drum tension isolation system also includes a safety release mechanism having a release member that is selectively engageable with a second one of the plurality of holes to permit removal of the locking member.

The present invention relates to an integrally formed apparatus selectively operable for winching and/or towing operations mountable to and removable from a vehicle end-mounted trailer hitch receiver. The integrally formed apparatus comprises a low-profile hitch ball mounting distal portion, a low-profile winch mounting central portion, and a trailer hitch receiver insertable portion. The low-profile ball mount and winch mount adjoin the apparatus with a vertically-spaced interval provided therebetween, wherein no portion of a fastened hitch ball, or coupler lock-mechanism above the ball, impedes or obstructs a tensioning or pull-force exerted on a winch cable extending outwardly principally in alignment with a horizontal axis, or in close parallel alignment with a bed of a trailer coupled to the hitch ball. The low-profile winch mount further provides a minimized vertical moment-arm, and clearance above a mounted winch allowing for up to a full range of hinge-pivoting door(s), lift-gate or tailgate movements.

A cable winch having a receiving unit for accommodating a cable drum that includes a cable wound about an axis of the cable drum. The receiving unit includes a quick mounting mechanism for attaching the cable drum in a manually detachable manner to the cable winch.

A winch system includes a truck that has a bed and the bed has a pair of spaced lateral walls. A winching unit is coupled to the truck. The winching unit includes a bar that has a telescopically adjustable length and the bar extends between the spaced lateral walls. The winching unit may be coupled to an object. Thus, the winching unit may urge the object into the bed thereby facilitating the truck to transport the object.

A pneumatic and manual clutch of a power winch provides an option of controlling the clutch by a manual or pneumatic method, and the pneumatic control method just needs to connect a pump connector of an air pump to a pneumatic connector the clutch properly to start or stop the air pump even when a user is standing at a position far from the power winch and the clutch can be turned on and off by starting or stopping the air pump, and either a cable or wireless remote control can be used to start or stop the air pump, so as to provide a very convenient operation.

An assembly kit for cable winches, comprising a cable drum, a drive motor, a transmission unit, and a supporting frame, where the assembly kit includes various transmission housing parts for the transmission unit in order to enable the assembly of a cable winch in a C shape or in a quasi-coaxial shape. A method for converting a cable winch, comprising a cable drum, a drive motor, a transmission unit, and a supporting frame, between a C-shape arrangement and a quasi-coaxial-shape arrangement, for which purpose the transmission unit, in the case of the use of different housings, in particular specific housing shells that can be assembled in order to form the different housings, is assembled differently for the C shape or coaxial shape while the same parts, in particular identical shafts, are used within the particular housing.

An apparatus for providing reliable line spooling for hoists, winches, and other pulling and/or lifting devices is disclosed. In one embodiment, such an apparatus includes a motor and a drum rotated by the motor to draw in or let out a line from the drum. The drum includes a helical groove formed in an outer surface thereof to accommodate the line. A roller is provided to place pressure on the line against a groove in the drum. In certain embodiments, the drum comprises a groove which widens as it gets closer to the drum. In other embodiments, the groove is formed by sidewalls which are various shapes and dimensions allowing the line to be held in the groove.

An apparatus includes a motor and a drum rotated by the motor to draw in or let out a line from the drum. The drum includes a groove formed in an outer surface thereof to accommodate the line. In certain embodiments, the motor and drum are quickly and easily detachable from a structure by way of a flange and mounting bracket. The flange and mounting bracket have holes which are coaxially aligned. A pin or other fastener is used to join the flange and mounting bracket together.
