Some people always compare hand cranked winches and hand cranked hoists, because both increase torque by turning the handle to drive the gear transmission, and obtain a stronger output through a smaller force output. There are many similarities in driving methods and working principles. So, when we need to carry out a lifting operation, should we choose hand cranked winches or hand cranked hoists?

Firstly, we need to understand that there is a certain difference in the rated load between the two. The rated load of hand cranked hoists is generally above the ton level, while the maximum load capacity of hand cranked winches is only about 1 ton, and most lifting and traction contents are only a few hundred pounds. Therefore, it is recommended to use hand cranked hoists for more reliable lifting operations above the tonnage level.

Then there is a significant difference in the installation points between the two. Hand cranked hoists are usually used for vertical lifting operations by hanging and fixing them with hooks, and are mostly fixed to I-beams with monorails or clamps. And the hand cranked winch needs to be directly fixed to the support part of the tripod or crane with bolts and nuts, so corresponding choices should be made for different job contents.
