Aluminum Work Winches (Set of 4) for System One Ladder Racks

This System One Work Winch is the most universal and easiest to use aluminum tie-down system ever made. Work Winches "plug in" to any System One I.T.S. series rack in 2 to 3 minutes. They are constructed of aluminum alloy and stainless steel with a PVC bearing. It is the only rust free tie-down system made and has a nearly unlimited lifespan. This ladder winch system is not a bolted-on aftermarket accessory, but an integral part of a System One I.T.S. series ladder rack.

Everything you need is always right there - even the handle. Just lift the pawl and pull out as much strap as you need. Place the strap around the load and hook it to an anchor hole or crossmember. Take up the slack with the handwheel and tighten firmly using the handle.

The handle can be kept permanently on the shaft or it can be left in a toolbox and used only when needed. When hanging it allows the shaft to rotate freely within it; when pushed forward, it will engage and operate the winch.

ALUMINUM ALLOY BODY:
The body of the Work Winch is cast from 356 aluminum alloy and then heat treated. Its breaking strength is over 10 times its rated capacity of 400 lbs. The shaft of the winch body is turned on a lathe to a diameter that is a few thousandths of an inch less than the inside diameter of the PVC bearing it rides in.

7½' x 1½” POLYESTER STRAP:
A 7½’ x 1½” polyester strap is used with our Work Winches because they have a higher tensile strength than nylon and undergo significantly less elongation in wet weather. They are more expensive than nylon but their performance and longevity makes them worthwhile. There is a vinyl coated hook on the end made from 3/8” tempered steel.
