Remote Control Hoist

A Remote Control Cable Winch is used for lifting and lowering heavy loads vertically in a controlled way, making it useful for construction, maintenance and installation tasks.

Yes, it can be suitable for competent DIY and smaller trade users, provided it is set up correctly, used only for vertical lifting and all safety instructions are followed.

Using a powered cable winch helps reduce manual handling, lowers physical strain and allows suitable loads to be lifted more smoothly and efficiently.

It is commonly used for lifting tools, equipment, materials and components to height during construction, repair, maintenance or installation work.

Yes, remote control units are available on request, allowing the operator to control lifting from a safer position away from the load.

These cable winches can lift loads up to 120m high when used with suitable Minifor cables, which are available to hire in lengths from 20m to 120m.

There are 300kg and 500kg variants available. The 300kg model has a safe working load of 0.3T, while the 500kg model has a safe working load of 0.5T.

You should wear protective gloves, steel toe footwear and head protection to help protect against handling risks and falling objects.

No, it must only be used for vertical lifting. Do not use the load cable or chain as a sling, and do not use the winch for horizontal pulling or dragging loads.

Yes, it runs on a 110V electric supply. An RCD is strongly recommended when using electrical equipment outdoors or in damp conditions.

No, it is not suitable for continuous lifting operations. It should be used for appropriate intermittent lifting tasks only.

The winches are relatively lightweight for powered lifting equipment, with the 300kg model weighing 21kg and the 500kg model weighing 32kg. A vehicle at least the size of a truck is required for collection.

Yes, powered lifting helps move suitable loads quickly and with less physical effort, helping reduce downtime and improve productivity on site.
