Question 1:
This winch is made for pulling applications only, however, a controlled release of a load (such as down a slope) can be performed by shutting off the engine while maintaining tension on the rope and gradually releasing the load by reducing the rope tension (and therefore the fiction around the capstan).
Question 2:
Yes, there is a high speed model available. The PCW5000-HS winch utilizes the same Honda engine while pulling at 118' per minute with a capacity of 770 lbs. single line. This model is most typically used for specialized commercial applications such as pulling fishing nets, oil spill cleanup booms and absorbent buoys, fiber optic cables, and other applications requiring high speed combined with relatively low pulling capacity.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to give us a call to discuss your specific application.
