Does a winch have a self-locking brake?

Yes. The brake is an automatic direct-drive cone brake. But we do not recommend leaving a load on the winch or using the brake as a hoist because the brake may slip under a heavy load. For trailer applications, you should not use the brake as a tie-down or keep a load on the winch, as it will harm the brake system due to continuous shock.
