Being unfamiliar with the general terms. Could anybody advise whether a manual trailer winch could be retro-fitted safely to become a hoist when attached to a tri-pod.
My feeling is that a trailer winch is designed to "drag" and not for a direct lift.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Robert.

As far as I can remember, if the wiches float; they're wiches. If they sink; they're not wiches.

Sorry to come out with the old chestnut but have a word with the Manufacturer/Supplier. I may be wrong but I believe certain winch configurations can be used to lift but it depends on SWL's, type of load, how the winch is mounted etc.etc.
