2. Einhell Rope hoist TC-EH 250

The TC-EH 250 rope hoist allows for the safe lifting of loads around the house, garden, and workshop with just the push of a button. Its extensive features are state-of-the-art. It is equipped with 12 meters of wire rope with a diameter of 3.2 mm, enabling it to lift loads of up to 250 kg using a pulley with a load hook to a height of 5.7 m. Without the pulley, the maximum load is halved, but the lifting height increases to 11.5 m. The TC-EH 250 is equipped with numerous safety features. Its insulated control switch has an emergency stop function that ensures immediate shutdown at the push of a button. The robust motor is protected from overheating by a thermal switch. The twist-free wire rope prevents the load from twisting during lifting. A safety latch on the load hook prevents the load from accidentally falling, and it is secured in every position by an automatic brake. The forced-triggered automatic limit switch ensures that the rope hoist safely shuts off in the end position. Two double clamps are provided for securing the rope hoist. A compatible swivel arm is available separately for the TC-EH 250, allowing for the swinging of loads, such as when lifting to higher levels and floors. 

3. Einhell TC-EH 600

The Einhell TC-EH 600 rope hoist is a powerful assistant for lifting and transporting heavy loads in the hobby workshop, garage, or at home construction sites. Einhell has placed great emphasis on functionality: the rope hoist is equipped with a twist-free and extra-long wire rope measuring 18 meters (diameter 4.5 millimeters) instead of just 12 meters, allowing for a lifting height of up to 18 meters without a pulley and the ability to transport loads of 300 kilograms at a speed of eight meters per minute. With the help of the pulley, the lifting capacity can be increased to 600 kilograms, with a lifting height of nine meters and a lifting speed of four meters per minute. The pulley with load hook effectively doubles the maximum load weight. An added advantage in terms of work safety is provided by an operating switch with an emergency stop and a safety latch on the load hook. An automatic brake further secures the load in any position. The hoist is also equipped with an automatic shut-off feature, which prevents motor overheating. The motor with a thermal switch ensures a long service life and operates powerfully and dynamically with a power consumption of 1,050 watts. The simple assembly of the device with two supplied double clamps poses no problems for the user.

10. Wiltec Steel winch
