The so-called HA-ED is corrosion resistant and “ideal for aggressive chemical or food industries, water treatment plants, marine and the refuse disposal industries.”

LTM said there are limited numbers of similar hand winches on the market and has explored the marketplace to find a solution to suit bespoke requirements, “which can typically be delivered with seven days,” it said.

The majority of the winch is made of stainless steel (304), the only exceptions are the gears in the gear box; these are made of high grade hardened carbon steel (any areas made of case hardened steel are enclosed in plastic covers).

The HA-ED is available in a 500 and 750kg capacity, can be wall- or base- mounted, comes with large rope capacity (up to 26m), life long lubrication (for easy operation and maintenance) and, for added safety, a detachable crank.

Also available is an option for a two-speed winch with free wheel gearing (in 500kg capacity only). Other options include a folding handle or adjustable crank.

Further details and information on this unit and various other stainless steel hand winches for outdoor use can be obtained from any of the LTM sales staff, tel: +44 (0)151 649 0467, email: sales@liftturnmove.co.uk.
