Boydstun’s New Stainless-Steel Investment Cast Rapid Ratchet™
Take a look at Boydstun’s new stainless-steel investment cast Rapid Ratchet™ with quick release positive locking pawl. The winch, which is standard on all new Boydstun head racks and trailers, includes the following features:
Boydstun Stainless-Steel Investment Cast Rapid Ratchet™
Our new stainless-steel cast winch is 68% stronger than our previous Rapid Ratchet with no plating needed. They’re also corrosion resistant and have 50% fewer parts with 50% finer bar adjustment. With low enough resistance that it can be ratcheted by hand, it allows you to tie down and secure the vehicle without removing the tie down bar.
Boydstun Quick Release Pawl with Positive Locking Feature
Boydstun’s quick release pawl releases (using a tie down bar) parallel to the vehicle. This feature avoids the possibility of hitting the vehicle with the tie down bar while releasing the pawl. Our Boydstun positive locking feature (see video) keeps pressure on the pawl to help keep it engaged. When released, the pawl rides on our slack collar to allow you to pull additional strap off of the winch drum if needed. A quick tap reengages the pawl into the winch gear.
Lubrication Points for Winch Head
This feature allows you to easily lubricate inner parts to keep your winch operating smoothly.
