Lug-All offers a wide variety of come-along ratchet winch hoists, each designed for specific applications. Whether you're looking for a model suitable for commercial use or something more consumer-friendly, choosing the right one can make all the difference in performance and safety. Type of Hoist The first decision you'll need to make is whether you need a wire rope or web strap model. Web strap hoists from Lug-All feature polyester webbing lines, which are non-conductive and ideal for use near live power lines, making them a safer choice for linemen and electrical workers. On the other hand, wire rope models use 7x19 aircraft cable, offering a more cost-effective option for many users. These models are often preferred for general consumer use. However, if rust is a concern, web strap hoists may be a better fit. For environments with high corrosion, like coastal areas, the Lug-All Marine Grade Ratchet Winch Hoist, featuring an anodized aluminum frame and stainless steel cable, is a superior choice. Capacity When selecting a winch hoist, capacity is a key factor. Lug-All hoists can function as both a winch and a hoist, making them versatile for lifting, pulling, or both. Understanding the rated capacity is essential for safe operation. A hoist with a 4,000-pound capacity can lift 4,000 pounds vertically. However, when used horizontally for pulling, the force may vary depending on factors like friction and angle. If your primary use is lifting, choose a hoist with a capacity equal to or greater than what you need to lift. For pulling, a slightly lower capacity might suffice, especially with lighter-duty models designed for everyday use. Features Consider the additional features that can enhance usability. Some models include a rapid lowering mechanism, allowing you to lower a load faster. A wind-up wheel helps manage slack efficiently. You can also find removable pulley blocks and conversion kits to adapt the hoist for single or double-line operations. Various hook options are available, such as self-locking hooks, swivel gate hooks, and eye-bolt configurations, making it easier to handle different types of loads.
