The Torkwinch^® TW-2000 is a definite purpose electric winch designed specifically for use on basketball backstop positioning applications. The winch was designed to set a new standard in terms of safety, simplicity of installation, space efficiency, attractive appearance and ease of use. This electric 1 HP/.75 KW winch will raise and lower any conventional basketball backstop from a wall swing-up type to all standard ceiling mounted units. This winch comes complete with key up-down switching and heavy duty limit switches controlling the raised and lowered positoions of the backstop.

• The Torkwinch^® TW-2000 is designed to lift an 1800 lb/820 kg backstop with a safety line stall pull of 2200 lbs/1000 kg at a speed of 12 feet/3.5 meters per minute on the first layer
• The available cable travel is 25 feet/7.5 meters on 1 layer. A second layer, for 45 feet/13.5 meters total, may be wound on if required.
• The cable drum is manufactured from hard anodized aluminum alloy and is directly supported at the cable winding diameter for maximum strength and rigidity.
• The drum is helically grooved for 1/4" 7X19 aircraft cable. The grooving provides proper spooling of the cable and ensures excellent repeatability of stop positions.
• The drum is equipped with a pressure roller, with torsion spring tensioning, to ensure that the cable tracks in the grooves even under slack rope conditions.
• The winch employs a double worm reduction system. Superior strength and life result from the extensive use of composite materials and no oil lubrication is required
• The drum is supported in composite ball bearings to provide long life, smooth operation and no requirement for lubrication
• The Torkwinch^® TW-2000 unique uni-directional worm brake, together with the inherently self-locking composite worm drive, assure positive dynamic braking and reliable holding of the cable drum
• Readily adjustable upper and lower travel limit switches make the setting of the stop positions straight forward. A 3:1 speed increasing drive to the limit screw considerably increases the precision and repeatability of settings.
• The Torkwinch^® TW-2000 is driven by a 1 HP/.75 KW, low maximum current draw design, instant reverse torque motor, providing immediate direction reversing, and a 3 wire control system. Duty cycle is standard: 10 minutes on, 20 minutes off.
• The Torkwinch^® TW-2000 motor is designed to stall at 18 amps and has an automatic thermal overload feature to protect the system against overload and misuse.
• All main frame components are powder coated and all exposed sub-components are plated, for maximum corrosion protection.
• Two rope exit ports and the absence of lubricating liquids allow a greater freedom of mounting orientation and cable layout.
• The winch is compact and lightweight, at 64 lbs/29 kg for easier installation
• The Torkwinch^® TW-2000 winch was designed and built in North America, and is fully patented
