2. Einhell Rope hoist TC-EH 250

The TC-EH 250 wire hoist allows for the safe lifting of loads around the house, garden, and workshop at the push of a button. Its extensive features are in line with the latest technology. 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 hook to a height of 5.7 m. Without the pulley, the maximum load is halved, while 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 hook prevents the load from accidentally falling, and it is secured in any position by an automatic brake. The forced-trigger automatic limit switch ensures that the wire hoist safely shuts off in the end position. Two double clamps are provided for securing the wire hoist. A matching 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 rope hoist TC-EH 600 is a powerful assistant when heavy loads need to be lifted and transported 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 of 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 thus doubles the maximum load weight. An added benefit for work safety is provided by an operating switch with an emergency stop and a safety latch on the load hook. An automatic brake additionally secures the load in any position. The rope hoist is also equipped with an automatic shut-off feature, which prevents motor overheating. The motor with a thermal switch ensures a long lifespan and operates powerfully and dynamically with a power consumption of 1,050 watts. The simple assembly of the device with two included double clamps poses no problems for the user. 

4. Wiltec Cable winch

A stable rope pull is ideal for pulling, moving, and holding heavy loads, making it suitable for areas such as automotive, boating, camping, gardening, forestry, leisure, hobbies, and many more. This manual winch is corrosion and weather-resistant, providing independence from electricity. The rope pull has a load capacity of up to 1600 kg. Power transmission occurs through a 20-meter-long rope with a diameter of 11 mm. The rope is wound on a hand drum and features a load hook with a safety latch at its end. Additionally, the winch is equipped with a shear pin, making it safe from overload. For comfortable operation, the operating lever has a rubberized handle. 

5. Einhell TC-WI 500

The Einhell hand winch TC-WI 500 has a maximum pulling force of 500 kilograms. This hand winch from Einhell features a 10-meter long, twist-free wire rope (Ø 4.2 mm) with a safety hook and a safety latch. The safety latch prevents the load from accidentally disengaging. Thanks to a ratchet mechanism, the rope and load can be securely stopped. The hand crank is equipped with a soft grip for a secure, firm hold and comfortable use. Installation is simple and quick using a mounting plate with pre-drilled holes. 

6. Wiltec Steel winch

The steel winch from Wiltec is an effective tool for safely lifting heavy loads. The load to be moved is attached to the head of the winch or to the lower support surface (claw). Thanks to its robust design and construction from steel, the rack and pinion winch can lift loads of up to 1500 kg. The head of the winch has a minimum starting height (construction height) of 725 mm. It can be used, for example, for pushing up walls, making it a helpful aid in drywall construction. When using the lower support surface, it can be easily slid under a pallet truck due to its low starting height of 70 mm, allowing for easy lifting. With a maximum lifting height of 350 mm, the winch is a versatile tool. Compared to a lifting platform, it takes up little space and is quickly ready for use, as it is easy to transport.

8. Wiltec Pickup-Kran

This pick-up crane with a maximum lifting height of 1800 mm has a cable winch and is an ideal aid for various loading and unloading tasks. The practical helper has a maximum load capacity of 900 kg, making it very easy to carry out a wide variety of lifting tasks. Lifting is made considerably easier thanks to the 2900 mm long cable winch and its high tractive force, and it is possible to pick up loads directly from the ground.

As enormous forces are involved when using a pick-up crane, the stability can be increased by mounting it on the ground (for example on a concrete floor with sufficient resistance). For this purpose, there are pre-drilled holes in the solid base that can be used to attach the crane to the ground or, for example, to the loading area of a pickup truck.

The pick-up crane is foldable for easy transport and can be taken to wherever it is needed to save space. When folded, the crane measures just 500 x 270 x 1400 mm (L x W x H).

This not only simplifies work processes, but also speeds them up. The workshop crane can be used for various tasks. For example, the crane can help to lift an engine out of a vehicle or move heavy crates. The workshop crane is also used in the gardening and landscaping sector. Here, for example, it is used as a useful aid for carrying paving stones or for pulling tree roots out of the ground.

The lifting arm is between 857 and 1133 mm long. You can adjust the length of the lift arm individually depending on the application. The lifting height can be extended up to 1840 mm.
