Winches for lifting people and working safely at height

Winches are used to lift, lower and evacuate people or materials in a safe and controlled manner. In the field of fall protection, it is important to choose a winch rated for use with people, as it is designed with additional safety features such as braking systems, locks and solutions for service checks. Here you will find winches for use with a tripod, davit or other approved anchor point.

Personalised winches

Personal-use winches differ from standard load winches. They are usually fitted with an additional braking system for greater safety. It is usually not possible to disengage the winch, to prevent accidents. Most winches have a counter to log usage for servicing purposes. Personnel-rated winches are available in various models and lengths, with both wire rope and rope. Our range includes both wire rope winches and rope winches in various lengths and designs, suitable for use in confined spaces, rescue operations and other demanding working environments, for example. If you need help choosing the right winch based on capacity, lifting height or intended use, we’d be happy to assist you.

Things to consider when buying a winch

  • Where should the winch be used?
  • Stainless steel or galvanised wire?
  • Capacity of passenger lift and material lift?
  • Should it be possible to operate the winch with a motor/screwdriver?
  • Should the winch be used with a davit, tripod or other attachment point?

Wire rope winches are available in lengths between 18m-58m.

Rope winches have no lower or upper limit, but the length of the rope controls.
