Who sells Hand and/or electric wenches?

[kimo wires]

Looking for a hand crank or electric wench to hoist things up to the second floor. Mahalo for replies.

Kimo,
If you would settle for a 'winch' rather than a 'wench', I have a 'new' never used 12V one with a remote control that I bought for a pickup, but never mounted. It is a Sears 49401 and is still in the original unopened box. It says it will lift 1000 lbs vertical with a pulley block. I would sell it for $20, just to clear some space. We live in HPP off Makuu.

Guess I spelled it wrong. Since it's actually a word spell check didn't catch it.
Anywho I got one of those winches too. It's not what I need for the application I want to do. I;m really looking for a hand type crank one. Thanks anyway.

One Thing I can always be sure of is that things will never go as expected.

a boat trailer place would have one .... so will amazon

old school - for lightweight stuff I rig one up using hardware store blocks - 2-1 or 3-1 leverage seem to be the easiest to work with

Hand type might just be a come-a-long.

All depends on the weight and type of load. Maybe a chainfall hoist?

Do you think it would drag an empty 20' container?

[allensylves]

The box says it will pull a 4,000 lb trailered boat or a 4,600 lb rolling load. So, assuming it was securely anchored (LOL), it should drag an empty container on rollers. An empty container sitting on the ground would probably be questionable without someway to reduce the friction.

If someone is really interested in moving a container by hand I unfortunately have considerable experience in doing that. I also have two 16' long 4"x10"s armored on one side with steel channels. They are key to the whole deal. Them, a multi-ton chain-a-long, and 100' of 1 1/4" hawser and you're in like Flynn. Well, that and an unusual tolerance for hard work and discomfort.

You put gravel down in the low spots to support and level the 4"x10"s. You put the container on the 4"x10"s with the steel channels in between to protect the wood and create a sliding surface. The corners of the container are what makes metal to metal contact with the flat, greased surface of the channels. You use chains (forgot to mention them earlier) to attach to both the container and the tree you are pulling against. If the chains aren't long enough you use the hawser too. Periodically you jack the container up to move the 4x10s. Forgot to mention the bottle jacks but you need a couple of them too. And steel plates to put under the jacks.

If there is really anyone out there that needs to do this you have a unique resource available in me.
