Features

  • Powerful small winch - This all-position gas-powered winch features the 4-stroke Honda GX35 engine delivering a powerful pulling capacity of 1,600 lb with a speed of 33 ft/min. The capstan drum allows users to pull loads over an unlimited length of rope.
  • Unlimited pulling distance - Unlike most winches, the PCW3000 Portable Winch Capstan drum allows pulling loads for a virtually unlimited distance. The rope simply enters and exits with constant pulling power and speed through the capstan principle.

  • Portable, Powerful, Versatile
Style: PCW3000
I live on a 300’ ridge on an island, and presently the only way for me to get heavy items up from the beach is a cable hoist. I have been manually pulling up lighter loads but needed help on anything over 50 pounds. Regular winches don’t offer a 300’ reach, so a capstan winch was needed. This unit is high quality, with a small Honda motor, and is very easy to use. Once I had it, I began finding other uses for it. UPDATE AFTER 6 MONTHS: Was working well, albeit slow, but suddenly the automatic clutch gave out, and now the motor does not engage the drum Very disappointed. Expected better from a machine with a Honda motor. The speed is better than standard winches, but I wish it could pull faster, since I don’t need the gearing for pulling anything more than about 150 pounds. I’ve learned that its big brother, the 5000 can provide a faster speed by swapping out the standard hub with a larger one, but the 3000 doesn’t take the larger hub. So, if you want the capability of a faster speed, go with the 5000 for a few hundred dollars more. ... show more

  • Awesome
Style: PCW3000
What a cool concept. I was lucky enough to draw a wild bison tag so I purchased this after seeing people extract moose with them. I’ve already skidded some logs around for firewood and can’t be happier. Very portable and easy to operate. Price is a bit steep but this is a once in a lifetime tag. Hopefully it will be moving bison meat soon. ... show more

  • Light starts easily plenty of power
Style: PCW3000
Wished the description said it came with a strap. I bought an extra strap one to hook to the anchor and one to hook to the object being moved. No worries put the spare in the truck for a tow strap. The winch works well and light enough to carry into the woods.

  • Doesn't start
Style: PCW3000
I can't start it. It turns over very (too) easily but doesn't fire at all. I got a hex wrench with it but it doesn't fit any of the bolts. I got a wrench, opened the cover, connected the spark plug wire and it started right up. Still one star off for including a nice looking but useless wrench.

  • The PCW3000 setup and use -- a review
Style: PCW3000
The media could not be loaded. This is a fantastic portable winch. Easy to use. With amazing power. But it needs a 10 to 13 mm rope. The 5/8 inch rope I bought was far too big. A 10 mm rope is ideal.

  • Little disappointed
Style: PCW3000
I bought this for retrieving moose for clients. This seemed to struggle and died out pulling a 900lb animal. Guess I expected more. Additionally the plastic part that holds the throttle cable broke, but that may have been my fault for the way it was transported in a tote.

  • Five Times as Expensive as a Vehicle Mounted Winch, and Still Worth the Price
Style: PCW3000
Just the right tool for the job. If you're in a space where you can't bring a vehicle mounted winch this is the tool that will do the job, safely, and efficiently. I had to pull several floating docks out of a lake and pull them up onto a steep bank. I placed two 16" 2x10s under the floats and in less than a day the job was complete. I pulled the docks up with hand winches and AC winches powered by a generator previously. There is no comparison. ... show more
