      JEEP                                              KNOWING A WINCH



         Define a winch.

               A winch is a hauling or lifting device consisting of a rope
               or chain winding round a horizontal rotating drum, turned

               typically by a crank or by motor.  In another words, it is a

               device to displace heavy loads using a cable attached to an
               axle.




         What is a winch used for?
               A winch is used to pull in (wind up) or let out (wind out) or

               otherwise adjust the "tension" of a wire rope (also called

               “wire cable").



         A winch and its parts.

               In its simplest form, it consists of a spool and an attached
               hand crank or motor crank.
