Wire winches on flying situations have one shortcoming, the feeding mechanism that spreads the wound wire evenly onto the winch drum means there's always a slight displacement of the main lift wire as winding progresses. This can be corrected in static house system rigs through devices such as diverter pulleys, but for touring use, where space is often a problem, Chainmaster has developed a solution. As yet un-named, this mobile winch device uses a simple 'double fall' type configuration, with dual mechanical winding compensators to give a static winch point. Smooth and fast, it's a neat solution.
