Portable Winch Gas Powered Capstan Winch w/ Brake - 2200 lbs Max Pull

PCW4000 Gas-Powered Capstan Winch – Next-Level Pulling with Progress Capture Control

The PCW4000 from Portable Winch Co. delivers serious pulling power paired with an advanced Progress Capture System (PCS) that automatically holds the load whenever pulling stops— giving you precise control, added safety, and confidence in demanding applications. Powered by a reliable Honda GX50 4-stroke engine, this gas-powered capstan winch produces up to 2,200 lb of pulling force while remaining lightweight, portable, and easy to deploy in the field.

Unlike traditional winches that rely on manual tie-offs or external braking, the PCS uses an integrated anti-reversing mechanism to prevent load rollback during pauses, allowing operators to work more efficiently and safely. With unlimited rope length capability and rugged construction, the PCW4000 is built for professional-grade performance wherever the job takes you.

This configuration includes the winch and a 6.5 ft polyester anchor sling—ideal for users who already own rope and rigging equipment or prefer to build a custom setup.
