Winches and Capstans

Hoists Direct offers many different brands, capacities and types of industrial quality winch and capstan products.  We are a winch specialist with subject matter expertise in key industrial winch categories, including the worm gear winch, power winch, pneumatic winch, mooring winch, cable winch, and hand geared winch. We also have access to vertical lifting winches and specialty pulling winches, including air tuggers, barge winches and winch hoists.  Our on-site engineering resources can provide custom winch products for specialty pulling requirements.  When ordering it is important to know the capacity, length of cable required (lift or pull), voltage, and mounting position.  Winches are operated using steel wire rope cable and capstans are operated using special cord rope. Options for powering winches are manual cranking, electric power, gas powered or battery powered. The winches and capstan hoists come with an automatic brake for holding the loads. If you would like to find a specialty winch or create a custom winch please reach out to our experienced sales staff at 866-464-7871.
