Manual Winches for Workshop, Transport & Marine
Manual winches at AIMS cover two main product families: hand crank winches with brakes for lifting and pulling applications, and truck winches designed for load restraint on transport vehicles. The range includes products from Pacific Hoists, Austlift, Challenger, and Beaver — suited to workshops, job sites, boat ramps, and heavy transport operations.
Hand Winches with Brakes
Pacific Hoists hand winches with brakes are available from 370 kg to 1,200 kg capacity and are commonly used for workshop lifting, dock applications, and boat trailers. The Pacific range includes a standard braked hand winch, a noiseless hand winch for noise-sensitive environments, and a stainless steel braked winch suited to marine and corrosive environments (545 kg to 1,200 kg). Challenger also offers a manual hand winch with brake across the same capacity range. Beaver brake hand winches are available in 363 kg, 820 kg, and 1,200 kg capacities.
Austlift Truck Winches
Austlift truck winches are purpose-built for load restraint on flat-bed and curtain-side vehicles. The range covers multiple mounting configurations — clip-on, gate type, and slide-on — available as bare winches rated to 3,000 kg LC, or with webbing strap included in 9 m and 11 m lengths. A ratchet webbing version with 50 mm x 9 m x 2.5T strap is also available for quick-fit applications. An aluminium body wire rope winch is stocked where wire rope is required in place of webbing.
Selecting the Right Winch
For lifting and pulling tasks, a braked hand winch with the correct WLL for the application is the key selection consideration. For transport load restraint, Austlift truck winches are rated and configured for Australian road transport use.
