Hand Cable Winch MAR-POL 2T, 2 Pawls (model 80742)

Hand Cable Winch MAR-POL 2T, 2 Pawls (model 80742) is a manual cable winch designed to provide controlled pulling and tensioning of wire rope for lifting, positioning and securing loads. The unit features a hand crank drive and a two-pawl braking mechanism that holds load position temporarily while work is performed. This compact, mechanically simple device is suitable for use in workshops, on construction sites and for basic vehicle recovery tasks where a powered winch is not required.

Advantages

The MAR-POL hand cable winch delivers a rated 2-ton pulling capacity with a manual crank that offers mechanical advantage for controlled movement. The two-pawl braking mechanism provides stable holding of the load without continuous operator force. Its straightforward construction makes maintenance and inspection simple, and the compact form factor supports portability and ease of storage. The product is built for intermittent manual use and offers a reliable option when electric or hydraulic systems are impractical.

Suitable for

• Pulling and tensioning wire rope for light to medium loads in workshops
• Positioning and securing building materials on construction sites
• Basic vehicle recovery, such as pulling a stuck trailer or repositioning equipment
• Temporary load holding during assembly, repair or installation tasks

Key specifications

• Rated pulling capacity: 2 tonnes (manual operation)
• Brake type: two-pawl mechanical braking for temporary load holding
• Drive method: hand crank (manual)
• Intended rope: steel wire rope compatible with manual winch drums (verify rope diameter separately)
• Construction: steel frame and drum for durability under manual use

How to use

Securely mount the winch to a fixed, load-bearing anchor point following the manufacturer's mounting recommendations and ensure the anchor and fasteners are rated above the intended load. Thread the appropriate steel wire rope onto the drum and route it through any required fairleads or pulleys. Operate the hand crank to pull or tension the load, keeping a steady, controlled motion. Engage the pawl mechanism to hold the load in position; inspect the pawls and braking engagement before relying on the device for load holding. Avoid shock loading and do not exceed the rated 2-ton capacity.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the winch, pawls, drum and wire rope for wear, corrosion or damage. Lubricate moving parts as specified by the manufacturer, replace worn rope or components, and store the unit dry when not in use. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and ensure the mounting anchor and any sling or shackle hardware are correctly rated for the intended load.
