A winch has a final epicyclic reduction drive to its drum (3). The planetary gearing (11) of the drive is borne in a web (9) of the drum. Input to the final drive is via a ring (17) driven either directly from a drive shaft (7) or via reduction drive trains (20) spaced axially from the final drive in the base of the drum. The drum (3) may be of carbon-fibre material. <IMAGE> |
