GP25 winches come fitted with an external mechanical cam operated disc brake as standard.
This type of brake is a load brake. A “Load brake” stops the winch from paying out rope when
a load is applied e.g. if the vehicle is on a hill the load brake will not allow rope to pay out
stopping the vehicle from rolling backward.
However the brake is clever enough to allow the user to pay out rope by engaging the motor
if required.
The load brake has a pair of large, heavy duty brake pads and is external to the winch. This
makes it ideal for use with the synthetic ropes that Gigglepin recommend.
The load brake will not stop winch motor over run and you should practice with your winch to
understand how much motor over run you have. This can be varied due to different winch
specifications.
Note - For Brake Maintenance please see Section 4.
Motor Brake System (MBS)
This is a must have system for those who want total control.
The MBS is an “Over Run” brake. “Over Run” is when the motors continue to turn after the
winch switch is released.
The Gigglepin MBS stops the motors instantly when the switch is released. It works
autonomous and can be switched on or off as the user requires allowing the user to choose
between the option of having over run and no over run.
The MBS can be engaged or disengaged at any time giving the user full flexibility.
If air supply is lost, the MBS will default to ‘Off’, meaning the winch can continue to be used
with the load brake.
The MBS does not affect the standard brake fitted to the GP25
The Gigglepin MBS can be fitted on to new and second-hand winches allowing the user to
upgrade their winch at any time.
On Winches fitted with MBS there is a third brown wire on the solenoid harness. This wire
must be run to a switch fitted near to the other winch control switches. We strongly
recommend that a fighter pilot style safety switch cover is used to stop accidental operation.
The switch will require a fused 12v or 24v supply dependant on the system ordered by the
customer.
Note - Please see Section 7, Page 21 for wiring diagram.
