Why Paccar Winch Winches will not hoist the rated load?
- TthomaskarlAug 17, 2025
If your Paccar Winch Winches won't hoist the rated load, several factors could be responsible. The winch might be mounted on an uneven or flexible surface, distorting the base and binding the gear train, which absorbs horsepower and generates heat. Inadequate air system pressure, using a drum layer not rated for the load, inefficient rigging and sheaves, or an improperly adjusted band brake dragging on the winch drum could also be culprits. Reinforce the mounting surface and use shims to level the winch, if needed. Install a gauge at the air motor inlet to check air pressure. Refer to the winch performance charts in the sales brochure. Service the rigging as recommended by the crane manufacturer. Adjust the band brake as defined in the manual.
