11 best portable hoists

:

  • Winches: While hoists are primarily designed for vertical lifting of loads, winches are designed to pull loads horizontally or at a slight angle.Winches are commonly found on off-road vehicles, tow trucks, and some types of boats. They have a spool and a hand crank in their simplest form, and they are used for tasks like towing or pulling objects over a short distance.

  • Towing Products & Winches: This category includes products specifically designed for towing vehicles or objects. Apart from winches, it might include items like tow straps, tow bars, and hitch accessories.

  • Exterior Accessories: This is a broader automotive category that encompasses various products designed to enhance or modify the exterior of vehicles. This can include things like mud flaps, custom grills, roof racks, and more. Portable hoists and winches are a part of this category because they are often mounted to the exterior of a vehicle, particularly in off-road or construction scenarios.

  • Automotive: This is the overarching category covering anything related to vehicles, their parts, and accessories. It's a wide field that encompasses everything from vehicle maintenance to customization.

Maintenance and Precautions:

  1. Regular Inspection: It's essential to inspect the hoist's cables, chains, hooks, and other components regularly for any signs of wear or damage.

  2. Load Limit: Always adhere to the hoist's maximum load limit. Overloading can result in equipment failure and is a significant safety hazard.

  3. Training: Only individuals trained in the operation of hoists should use them. Understanding the proper rigging techniques and safety procedures is crucial.

  4. Environment: Ensure the area around the hoist is clear of obstructions and that the hoist is on stable ground or attached to a sturdy structure.

  5. Storage: When not in use, store the portable hoist in a dry, cool place to prevent rust or damage to its components.

In conclusion, portable hoists are versatile tools that provide lifting solutions in a variety of settings, especially when permanent lifting equipment isn't feasible. They offer convenience and efficiency but should be operated with care to ensure safety at all times.

User questions & answers

Question: can it spool a standard 50 feet cable if I install it, 15 ' is not enough for me
Answer: I've never seen it damage a surface, although I suppose it could, since it contains distillates (like toluene?) that might dissolve some materials. More importantly, this stuff is VERY sticky, so on a rough surface you would never be able to completely remove it. For that matter once it gets a good grip, it's about impossible to pull apart anyway. For example, I glued just the red plastic cover from a small reflector (with no backing) to the rear of the seat post on my bike -- just for fun, and extra safety. I put one blob on each side where the reflector touched the post, and masking taped the reflector in place till the glue dried. Years later when I replaced the seat and had to pull off the reflector, first it hadn't fallen off in the meantime, and second it was nearly impossible to get loose, then I had to work at remaining blobs of glue, stuck to chromed steel, with needle nose pliers, to yank them off the metal.
Question: Watched your video, looks great. Why don't you show the 110v power supply running across the pasture where you are installing the fence
Answer: Yes, I had good luck doing that with this. It's good at bonding surfaces that are different. I'd use rubbing alcohol on the surfaces first to clean them.
Question: What Amperage (amps) is this rated at
Answer: Yes it's great stuff
Question: How accurate can a person be with stopping a load at the correct height and/or lowering of a load
Answer: Q-Bond is a two-part system utilizes liquid glue combined with powders to create reinforcing and filling capabilities that allows breaks, cracks, holes and gaps in plastics and metals to be repaired to regain original shape on a wide range of items. Use to fix fuse boxes, distributor caps, lugs and clips, waterpumps and casing, electronic devices and components, speedometers, kitchenware, toys and more. Can be ground down, filed, sanded, tapped and painted. Hardens once adhesive touches powder. Contains two 10ml adhesives, one 20g black filling powder and one 20g grey filling powder. Resistant up to 356 degrees, 1300 psi, 100% chemical resistant, works on all materials except polyethylene and polypropylene plastics, stainless steel, and silicone rubbers.

User questions & answers

Question: DO any of you guys that bought the cordless ones have any regrets and think the 110 v be easier to maintain? im torn ,i dont plan to use all that much
Answer: No regrets at all. The battery has a good charge life. We have had several of the 24 volt winches and several of the 110 volt winches. (we are very hard on the winches and abuse them) They are both very handy winches to have and very comparable in overall pulling power. I will also add that the original winches were made for pulling only only. They now have models also safe for lifting. Again they are both fantastic for what they are, sometimes you just cant beat not having to worry about a power source to plug in a cord.
Question: Does this come with the charger? How long does it take to charge? How long does it hold a charge
Answer: I can not vouch for this seller but mine came with two batteries and a charger but I paid more. Ther's a red model and an orange. I will tell you this, do not leave the batteries without a charge for an extended period of time (or leave the batt. in the unit with the switch on.),you'll be buying new ones and two replacement batteries cost more than a new unit w batteries. The usage time is good but depends on how much continues use.
Question: Is it mountable
Answer: Just hook one end to a loop, it's good for 1000 lbs or so.
Question: does the winch freewheel
Answer: No.

User questions & answers

Question: What is the largest rod you can put in the hook? I have a 1.25in diameter rod that the hoist has to hang off of. Will the hook fit on this size rod
Answer: A max of 1" dia will pass through the open part of the hook.. but if you pass a pipe through end wise, it will accept up to 1-1/2 dia. The clip that closes the open part of the hook is cheap and wont last a damn. Do not open box in the house... expect to use a 1/2 roll of paper towels or rags and degreaser ... simple green... on the chain when new.. and there is one cheap cotter pin that should be replaced before using. When using the hoist sideways... the pawl will not engauge so if there is a load on it, someone has to hold the chain. Its a cheap hoisf but i used it for pulling a boat engine...was a V8, then pulled my boat trailee with boat on it out of the mud... may lock up sideways now and then but a quick backwards tug on the chain and its freed. The extra long chain is very nice...
Question: Does this hoist have a brake? How well does it work
Answer: It does have a brake, however, if you are planning any lifting anywhere near 2000 lbs you would be better to step up to a 2 ton. We were lifting frames weighing between 1000 and 1700 lbs and the brake is destroyed already. Not recommended for anything heavy.
Question: Do I need any other device to operate this (other than an attachment device at the top
Answer: You just need a sturdy place to hook the chain fall. It slowly raises the object as you pull the loop chain through. It works great. I just used it to lift up my ZT mower so I could change the blades. I warn you the chains are greasy when it arrives.
Question: Is it ok to clean the oil off the chain
Answer: The chain should not be left totally dry but the lubricant it ships with is so nasty, I decided to clean it off and re-lubricate with a cleaner lubricant. Cleaning was easy. Simply suspend the block about 3' off the floor with chains in a bucket of hot water and detergent; taking care not to submerge the block mechanism. After washing the chain, rinse chain with water using the same method. Then hang to dry and re-lubricate with a good rust preventative lubricant and then wipe excess lube off.

Question: is it working on house power
Answer: No. It works on battery
Question: Hi can anyone tell me what size battery I should get for this? I will not be hooking it up to a vehicle
Answer: 12 volt auto battery.
Question: What size steel cable should i buy to to replace the current cable? fyi the cable snapped due to having to pull a bobcat due to an emergency
Answer: What you want is 3/16" 7 x 19 GAC. It breaks around 4000 pounds which means you have a working load rating of around 1000 pounds which is what you want. Let me decode the designation. The 7 x 19 is the structure of it, meaning that there is six major strands twisted around one center strand for the seven part. The nineteen is the number of individual wires that make up each of the seven strands. The GAC stands for galvanized aircraft cable which is how smaller wire rope of this type is known, unfortunate because we don't call this stuff cable in general, but wire rope. (Cable is for running electricity) You can use 6 X19 or 6 X 7 layups. The six by means that there is a fibre strand in the center that is impregnated with lubricant. You don't need that for intermittent use. The "X 7" means that the strands only have seven bigger wires instead of the nineteen smaller ones to make the wire rope which makes the wire rope much stiffer and harder to handle. You want the nineteen if you can get it.
Question: I assume the 8k pull rating is double line,snatch block, strength pulling
Answer: Yes, 4k single line, 8k with snatch block, double line.
