They are geared drums that the cable winds around pulling what is attached.

In the old days we used a direct drive drive shaft off a manual transmission to the winch gear box to drive the winch. It was possible to do a Lot of damage to the machine if it was operated incorrectly.

More recently the winch is driven Hydraulically, either of the electrical system of the trucks but more commonly from an engine driven pump.
