Engineered for Lasting Performance

Every component of this system is engineered for longevity. Zinc electroplated internals and planetary gears resist corrosion, while the motor features high-performance brushes with copper-impregnated contacts and plated mounts for reliable electrical efficiency. A balanced motor armature and ball bearing operation ensure quiet, dependable performance under load, and a triple-layer breather system protects against pressure fluctuations and moisture during heat cycles. The rotating ring gear clutch provides smooth, low-drag free-spooling, while the hoist-style braking system delivers mechanical braking through the gear train—preventing heat buildup at the drum and keeping synthetic ropes safe from damage.
