Orbit Winch Range Expansion:  Bigger, Faster, and Electric

We are pleased to announce several new additions to the successful Orbit Winch range, including larger sizes, three-speed configurations, and E1 Electric winches.

Featuring the fastest line speeds in our range, three-speed Orbit Winches offer significant advantages in many racing and cruising situations that require rapid line retrieval. In the initial stages of trimming or hoisting sails, the high-speed first gear reduces the time and effort required to adjust sails efficiently. The winch can be shifted to the second and third gears as load increases, using their greater mechanical advantage for precise control of heavy loads. The added versatility provided by the extra gear results in improved performance and safety on the water.

Installation is simple with no external control box required, while the illuminated intelligent pushbutton aids in monitoring of safety features that include overload protection, thermal overload protection, accidental start protection, reverse polarity protection, and more. At the heart of the system is a high quality, European engineered and manufactured series-wound motor, matched with the optimum gearbox for efficient pulling power and line speed.
