Abstract
A device for actuating switches in a power winch apparatus used in livestock enclosures. An actuator block is mounted on a linear rod within the frame of the power winch. When the winch is operated the movable load bearing block of the power winch engages and moves manually adjustable limits on the rod. Subsequently the actuator block mounted to the rod moves relative to a series of switches which are electrically connected to auxiliary devices as well as the power supply and drive motor of the power winch.
