Winches - Hoists

UNICRAFT winches and hoists provide reliable solutions for lifting, pulling and handling loads in industrial, construction and maintenance environments. A winch, available in manual or electric versions, is designed to generate high traction forces through ropes, steel cables, straps or chains, allowing heavy loads to be lifted or pulled while reducing operator effort. Rope winches use levers and steel cables for vertical lifting and horizontal pulling, while electric winches rely on a motor to raise or lower the load, often combined with a pulley system to increase lifting capacity and handling efficiency.

When the load needs to be moved away from the lifting point, a jib support or winch arm allows the unit to travel along the structure, ensuring easier positioning. Electric or manual capstans and winches also support controlled pulling and load recovery, complementing lifting devices in industrial applications. Hoists, whether manual or electric, employ a system of pulleys, ropes or chains that enable heavy loads to be lifted with significantly less force than their actual weight, providing precision and consistency even during demanding operations.

This category also includes electric trolley systems for hoists, designed to allow smooth travel along beams, as well as portable gantry cranes, which offer maximum flexibility thanks to their adjustable and mobile structure, ideal for workshops and warehouses. Choosing UNICRAFT equipment means relying on robust, certified and durable lifting solutions engineered for high performance and maximum safety during all handling operations.
