Launching boats safely and easily with boat winches

Slip is a nautical term used to describe the process of either launching or retrieving a watercraft. This typically involves using an electric boat winch in conjunction with a boat trailer or an existing slipway to move boats or jet skis in and out of the water. When launching, the trailer is partially submerged in the water, allowing the boat to float off it after being lowered. In the case of a permanent slipway, a ramp extends further into deeper water for this purpose. Stationary slipways are commonly found in fortified harbours along lakes, rivers, or coastal areas. Having your own boat trailer with a slipway is ideal for transporting your boat to any desired location for convenient launching into the water. The towing of watercraft by means of a boat trailer is made much easier with our boat winches. They are available as hand winches or electric winches. The winches are robust, weatherproof and have a sturdy, impact-resistant housing.

WHICH WINCH IS BEST SUITED FOR BOAT TRAILERS?

In the trailer sector with a permissible total weight of up to 3.5 t, manual cable winches or electric winches for boat trailers with up to 2000 kg pulling force with a rolling load are used. This is sufficient for lowering or raising watercraft in the weight class mentioned. At the same time, our boat winches are compact and lightweight. This ensures trouble-free installation of the winch on your trailer. The decision now has to be made as to which type of boat trailer winch will be your boat winch. If providing power through a vehicle's battery or a cable proves to be too expensive, you have the option of selecting a manual hand cable winch. This hand-operated winch can be used with either a steel cable or, alternatively, a webbing in place of the cable. A hand winch can effectively manage loads of up to 1.1 tons. While electric boat trailer winches offer greater convenience, they do rely on electrical power for operation. In contrast, electric trailer winches possess a considerably higher pulling force than manual winches and do not necessitate power-intensive operation. All our winches have an automatic locking system for safety reasons. I.e. as soon as you stop pulling or lowering your boat, the brakes are applied immediately and thus the position of the boat is fixed.
