If it is necessary to attach so much importance to the ergonomics of an electric winch crank, it is because, unlike electric winches, it is not enough to press a button to engage: it is also necessary to retain the crank, keep it stationary by compensating the torque. It is therefore essential that the ergonomics of the electric crank handle allow you to compensate for this torque in a safe and comfortable position
What is the optimal position to hold an electric crank handle?
If we refer to the image above, everyone knows that when the tensions on the ends become intense, it is very difficult to winch in the red sector, while we have much more power in the green sector. It is in the latter that the crank torque can be easily compensated. Holding the crank handle is then child's play, it is the crank handle that does the job.
It is very important to take this into account, as not all winch electric cranks have the same shape and cannot all be retained in this optimal position, making their use uncomfortable, difficult or even dangerous. An electric crank handle is not only a box with a motor inside. It must be easy to hold it back.
Ewincher, the only winch handle that takes into account the importance of ergonomics
Three years of development and innovation have been necessary to create this crank handle focused on sailing and navigator comfort. Ewincher has the same shape and centre distance as a conventional crank handle (10 inches long). This configuration allows the user to compensate for torque very easily, even when the tensions on the ends become high. The position is optimal and allows the forces to be distributed evenly throughout the body.
Ewincher more powerful than a trained sportsman
The power developed by Ewincher makes this electric crank a powerful and durable tool. Ewincher continuously delivers 210W of useful energy with a torque of 80Nm. A trained competitor may not deliver such power for more than two minutes. A less trained person will have difficulty delivering more than 150W for more than 30 seconds.
3 operating modes
Due to its shape, Ewincher is also the only electric crank handle that can be used in three different modes: electric, manual, combined. These different modes offer the user great flexibility of use with the possibility of alternating between speed and precision. Above all, this shape allows the navigator to feel the tensions in the ends and to get feedback on the adjustments made, which is impossible with an electric winch.
Ewincher, a crank handle designed for sailors
Ewincher has other exclusive or innovative features. For example, its unique winch locking system on the market, which makes it possible to secure the crank handle even in bad weather. We can also mention its Lithium-ion battery which gives it a very long autonomy and a charging time of only 1h30.
Simple and accessible
This new generation of high-performance, lightweight, highly ergonomic electric winch crank offers a high-performance solution that requires no installation to motorize all your manoeuvres. Its cost of 2500 euros including VAT is less expensive than the motorization of a single winch, or the purchase of a reel or electric furler..
A great and very simple solution to motorize all your winches, ideal for sailboats from 35 to 50 feet!
