Porter Electric Winches Operating instructions

  • Hello! I've reviewed the mounting instructions for the Porter FITG712WMC electric winch provided and I'm ready to help. The document details how to install the winch on concrete masonry walls, emphasizing safety measures like proper cable feed and the necessary anchor types. It also includes mounting height requirements and critical architect notes. Ask me anything about its installation or specifications.
  • What is the minimum height above the finished floor for mounting the winch?
    What is the minimum cable travel required?
    How many anchors are required for mounting a concrete masonry wall?
