Claims15
A cable winch comprising:
- a receiving unit for accommodating a cable drum that includes a cable wound about an axle of the cable drum, wherein the receiving unit has a quick mounting mechanism for attaching the cable drum in a manually detachable manner to the cable winch;
- and
- a drive unit having at least one driving pulley, wherein the drive unit is positioned ahead of the receiving unit in a winding direction of the cable onto the cable drum and provides at least a proportion of a pulling force for raising a load by means of the cable, and wherein the drive unit receives a free cable end of the cable from the cable drum and to guide the cable,
- wherein the quick mounting mechanism is pivotable between a first position and a second position.
