You will be able to apply as much or more tension than with a traditional winch, with much less effort. The following graph illustrates the difference in the force applied for attaining tensions between both systems. While a user with the traditional winch quickly reaches limited tensions due to the physical strength required, the BOA WINCH mechanism’s reduction ratio allows the user to decrease the strength required and increase the tensions applied to the strap. The user can attain much higher tension applied with very little effort. Furthermore, the tension will be applied gradually, enabling the user to apply the exact desired tension and avoid over tightening or damaging their load. All while improving the time required for the tiedown segment of the load securement by 30% to 40%.
