Why is my Columbia Winches not producing the listed line pull/line speed?
- R
  Regina SnyderAug 1, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Columbia Winches unit might not be producing the line pull or line speed as listed: * Inadequate air pressure/flow: Check the air pressure and ensure sufficient flow. * Air motor lubrication: The air motor may not be properly lubricated, so lubricate the air motor. * Air restriction: Inspect and clear any restrictions in the air lines and mufflers. * Uneven surface: Ensure the unit is mounted on a level surface. * Cable sheaves or block purchase: Check and ensure that cable sheaves or block purchase are turning freely. * Load constraints: Release any constraints on the load.

How to fix wire rope that spools poorly on Columbia Winches?
- J
  James AdamsAug 8, 2025
  If the wire rope on your Columbia Winches is spooling poorly, consider the following potential causes and solutions: * Wire rope tension: Reestablish proper tension on the wire rope if it was lost. * Wire rope installation: Reinstall the wire rope correctly if it was not installed properly. * Inadequate tension: Increase the tension to spool wire rope on tightly, if the tension is not adequate. * Fleet angle: Adjust the distance to ensure proper fleet angle, if the distance to cable sheaves, block purchase or load is inadequate.

  If the wire rope is stacking against the flanges on your Columbia Winches, here's what you can do: * Level the unit: If the unit is not level, level it. * Align the line: If the line leads to a point not in line with the drum, align the line properly with the drum. * Adjust distance: If the distance to cable sheaves, block purchase or load is inadequate for proper fleet angle, adjust the distance to ensure proper fleet angle.

Why Columbia Winches lowers load but won't raise it?
- B
  brownjeffreyAug 23, 2025
  If your Columbia Winches unit lowers a load but will not raise it, here are a couple of things to check: * Load capacity: The load may be beyond the rated capacity. Reduce the load to within the rated capacity. * Load constraints: The load may be constrained. Release any constraints on the load.
