Hand Winches for Wire Rope—For Lifting
These winches are designed for occasional use. An automatic brake holds the load when the handle is released. To lift, mount winches above the load or use winches with a pulley that's mounted above the load.
For wire rope, see Wire Rope with Hook for Winches.
Winches with a left-side handle are more comfortable for left-handed users to operate, and can be used in spaces where right-side handles can’t fit. Winches with a right- or left-side handle are convertible, letting you easily switch between your left and right hand.
Note: Capacity is highest for the first layer of rope (at least five wraps of rope on the winch) and decreases as each additional layer of rope is wound on the winch.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
