Introduction

Portable winches require gloves, harnesses, and anchor straps to operate safely under load.

  • Heavy-duty gloves protect hands from rope burns and sharp cable strands.
  • A rated recovery harness distributes pulling force across the torso and prevents slips.
  • Anchor straps secure the winch to a stable point, reducing the risk of sudden movement.

Inspect straps and cables before each use and wear eye protection.
