Manual Drum Winches
Additional Information
Manual Drum Winches (sometimes referred to as heavy duty hand winches) are pulling or lifting devices with a rope, strap, cable or chain wound around a rotating drum that is operated by a hand crank. Small hand winches are most often ratchet devices or use worm or spur gears to operate the drum. This type of hand winch with brake is also known as a ‘brake hand winch’ or ‘brake winch.’
DLH Online provides different options of Manual Drum Winches which can be filtered via the winch finish (painted, stainless steel or zinc-plated) or the mounting type. (base or column mounted, wall-mounted or truck-mounted) We only offer products from market-leading brands such as Yale, Haacon, Pfaff Silberblau, Tractel, Tiger and Thern.
