Marine-Grade Manual Winch Solution — ALLMAN BHW-1800S

Stainless Steel Brake Hand Winch for Marine Applications

When Salt Water Is the Enemy, Choose the Winch Built to Survive It

On a boat, at a dock, or in a shipyard, the equipment fails in a predictable order: first the rust, then the jammed drum, then the seized brake. Ordinary steel winches are built for dry warehouses — not for spray, salt, and tide.

That is why the ALLMAN BHW-1800S stainless steel brake hand winch is engineered for the waterline: 304/316 stainless steel construction, a self-locking brake, and a 5:1 gear reduction that lets one person handle loads that would otherwise require two.

From recovering a tender to tensioning a mooring line, the BHW-1800S delivers manual pulling power that stays smooth, silent, and rust-free — season after season.

Where It Works: Marine Applications

• Boat & tender recovery — Winch a dinghy, RIB, or small craft onto a cradle, trailer, or swim platform without power tools or deck wiring.
• Mooring & docking — Haul in and tension mooring lines, spring lines, and fenders precisely, then hold the load securely with the automatic brake.
• Anchor & chain handling — Manage anchor chain on smaller vessels and workboats where electric windlasses are impractical or unavailable.
• Rigging & halyard tensioning — Set up tarpaulins, awnings, and sail rigging on yachts, pontoons, and working boats with controlled, incremental tension.
• Shipyard & jetty maintenance — Pull hatch covers, hatches, and maintenance loads on docks, slipways, and pier installations where spark-free, power-free operation is required.
• Boat trailer systems — The 1800 lbs rating is a natural fit for single-axle and light tandem trailers, with stainless hardware that survives launch-ramp saltwater immersion.

Why the BHW-1800S Is the Right Solution

1. True Marine-Grade Material: Stainless Steel A304

The housing, rope drum, and load-bearing parts are manufactured in stainless steel 304 — with 316 available for the most corrosive environments. No paint to chip, no plating to wear through: corrosion resistance is built in, not coated on.

2. Safe, Self-Locking Brake

The integrated brake stops the drum the moment you stop cranking and holds the load automatically — no drift, no run-back, no dropped loads. When the crew's attention is on the water, the winch is watching the load.

3. 5:1 Spur Gear Reduction — One Person, Full Power

With a gear ratio of 5:1, first-layer pulling capacity reaches 820 kg (1,800 lbs) while the operator's effort stays at just 22 kg — manageable, fatigue-free cranking even in awkward deck positions. The gear drive runs on bearings for smooth, efficient operation.

4. Compact, Lightweight, Portable

The BHW-1800S mounts quickly to a deck plate, trailer frame, or bulkhead bracket, and stores easily when not in use. On vessels where space is measured in centimeters and weight in kilograms, it takes neither.
