Portable Winch Co. PCW3000 1550-lb. GAS Powered Portable Capstan Winch

The gas-powered portable capstan winch offers 700 kg (1550 lbs) of power. It is the ideal winch for hunters, boaters, snowmobilers or quad riders and other applications requiring a winch more compact and portable. Powered by the reliable Honda's full 360o 'any-side-up' 4-stroke engine (GX-35)! Thanks to the capstan principle, there is no limit to the rope length. You'll be able to pull what you want, where you want. Also, unlike conventional winches, it offers a constant pulling power. The rope is tied to the load and the other end is wrapped 3 or 4 turns on the capstan drum. When the engine is running, the capstan drum is automatically turning. You simply have to pull on the rope to apply friction on the drum to pull the load.
