With a handle and mounting hook for portability, these winches can move from job to job.

Rope does not accumulate on this winch, so it's good for longer lengths of rope than a standard winch can hold. Attach one end of your rope to the load, wind a few wraps on the winch, then pull the free end of the rope as the winch turns. Also known as a capstan winch.

Turn the crank to move material horizontally. These winches wind faster than precise-positioning winches.

One-piece gears provide more durability than the riveted gears of other hand winches. These winches move loads more gradually than standard hand winches. They take longer to wind but require less effort.

An automatic brake holds the load, even when power is lost.

Remove the handle to wind these winches with a power drill and move loads more gradually than with other winches. The one-piece machined gears stand up to daily use.

Tackle frequent lifting jobs with these rugged winches—their one-piece machined gears stand up to daily use.

Move loads more gradually than with other winches. These take longer to wind but require less effort. Their one-piece machined gears stand up to daily use.

Because these winches run on compressed air, they give you longer operating times than electric winches.
