Manual Hand Winches

Spur gear drive winches are versatile and suitable for use in areas where electrical power is unavailable or when electric devices can't be used safely due to conditions like water, mud, or dirt. For situations where the direction of the rope needs adjustment, wire rope winches are commonly used in conjunction with sheave blocks. Our inventory includes Yale pulley blocks with capacities ranging from 1,000kg to 6,400kg. These blocks have one hinged side for easy wire rope positioning on the sheave or for redirecting a wire rope quickly.

We also offer galvanised manual wire rope winches from Pfaff, originally designed for off-road use but now used in various lifting and pulling applications. These lightweight winches can be mounted on bases or columns and feature a load pressure brake to prevent accidental load lowering. Their spur gears provide excellent efficiency.

Our Pfaff wall-mounted manual winches, available in various capacities, are versatile and perfect for lifting loads with ease. They are multi-positional, lightweight, and come with features like lightweight stamped steel housing, a compact design, and a spur gear drive for optimal efficiency. These winches also have integrated cranks with load pressure brakes for secure load holding and rope lead-offs in all directions. Pfaff products are known for their high quality, featuring zinc-plated parts for corrosion protection and a specially coated drum.

Hand Operated Gearboxes are versatile and can function as rotary actuators, cable winch gearboxes, or chain drive gearboxes. They ensure easy and safe operation, with self-locking worm gears that securely hold the load. The enclosed housing protects internal components and is available with either a cast iron or die-cast aluminum housing.

Our Pfaff SIFEKU safety ratchet cranks are weather-resistant, recoil-proof, and maintenance-free. They feature a cast aluminum crank with a folding handle and securely hold the load at every height in both pushing and pulling directions. The spring-operated load pressure brake operates silently and provides braking effectiveness at both ends.

Both of our trusted suppliers, Pfaff and Yale, adhere to high safety standards. All our lifting winches are fully tested and certified, ensuring the quality and safety of your chosen product.
