hand winch

Compact spur gear hand winch for lifting and pulling

  • Available in both standard and engineered designs
  • Each manual winch features an integrated load brake and is well-suited for both lifting and pulling.
  • Drive gears, ratchet assembly and brake discs are fully enclosed to protect the operator and to prevent contamination.
  • An adjustable crank with roller handle increases operator efficiency while an optional ratchet handle permits lifting and pulling from almost any winch mounting location.

Mechanical brake automatically engages to hold load

  • Weston-style ratchet brake is automatically engaged once pressure is removed from the crank handle.
  • A brake release lever is not required since the holding brake automatically disengages as the winch is operated.

Free spooling option ideal for repetitive pulling

  • By engaging the optional free spooling mechanism, cable may be manually pulled from the drum.

Optional stainless steel upgrade for superior corrosion-resistance

  • External components for our manual winches, including the side frames, drum, gear cover and fasteners can be constructed from stainless steel.
