While winching, you may choose to have someone else to help you. One person directs the
operation and watches the winch outside of the vehicle while the other is in control of the
winch and vehicle. In these cases it is important that both people agree in and understand the
basic winch hand signals.
Winch In – Upper arm straight out, lower arm pointing up, index fingers moving in circles.
Winch Out – Upper arm straight out, lower arm pointing down, index fingers moving in circles.

shell motion repeatedly, for operator to run the winch in, using quick intervals.
Hands in Winch – Both arms held out, fingers extended, in the direction of the winch.

a. Common Winch Hand Signals
b. Winch Remotes and Radios
In recent times new technologies have advanced winch operation and we now have access to
excellent radios and wireless winch controls.
Wireless winch controls are great tools but care must be taken at all times to prevent the
threat of accidents. Always be aware of who is using the remote and always make sure that all
assistants or co drivers are clear of the winch and cable before the remote is used. After use,
make sure the remote is switched off before being stowed. If the remote is not to be used for
a long period of time, it is best to remove the battery(s) to stop possible corrosion.
Radios are a great tool to use when winching and allow the winch operator and their
assistants to communicate. Before you start winching always decide on key words or phrases
to be used during the winching procedure. This will stop confusion during the winching
process. Keep it simple and short.
Our suggested phrases are -
Winch in
Winch out
Lock FreeSpool
Unlock FreeSpool
Stop
Note - Never say “No” as it sounds to much like “GO” and can cause confusion.
