ABSTRACT:
A cranking device for use with a winch having a crankable shaft, the cranking device comprising an engagement member selectively engageable with an end of the crankable shaft in a loose fitting relationship such that the engagement member may be rotated relative to the shaft end, a handle fixed to the engagement member for cranking same, a locking mechanism provided with the engagement member for locking the engagement member onto the end of the crankable shaft in the loose fitting relationship such that the shaft may be cranked together with the engagement member under relatively low torque. Additionally, the engagement member is preferably formed as a socket having a plurality of spacer members provided on an inner surface thereof for engaging the shaft end when the socket is fitted thereover such that a gap is defined between an outer periphery of the shaft and an inner periphery of the socket.
