Hand Winches

Hand Winches

Winches are built to lift or haul a load by using a rope, chain, or cable wound around a rotating drum. Hand winches are perfect for situations where access to electricity is not easy or impossible. Hand winches, also known as manual pulling winches, are ideal for horizontal pulling applications which require the freewheeling feature of ratchet type winches. Hand winches require no power and allow the user to create mechanical advantage by rotating a handle to operate the winch.

Also referred to as brake winches, hand winches are suitable for a wide range of lifting and lowering applications and include self-locking brakes for additional safety and control. Our selection of Dutton-Lainson hand winches come in a variety of sizes and capacities, offering something for everyone no matter what the job requires.
