“The lifting winch is compact, easy to fit and offers noise-free operation,” it said.

Units accept both wire rope and webbing and are ideal for short lifting movements, for example, on wind-up stands commonly used in theatres and music venues, it added.

The winch can be wall- or base-mounted and has a self locking gear that holds the load in any position.

The removable cover allows easy access for maintenance and protects the wire rope drum. A swiftly attachable/removable handle is available for applications where unauthorised people could possibly access the winch.
