Industrial winches are a mechanical device that is used to adjust the tension of a rope, wire or cable either by 'letting out' or 'winding in' the cable. It consists of a spool and attached crank that is attached to a machine. The spool can be called the winch drum. More elaborate designs have gear assemblies and can be powered by electric, hydraulic or internal combustion drives. Some may also include a mechanical break that prevents the device unravelling once the cable tension has been altered to the specific tightness.
