Lug-All offers a wide range of come-along ratchet winch hoists designed for different applications. Whether you're using it for commercial or personal purposes, choosing the right model is essential. But how do you determine which features and specifications are best suited for your needs?

Type of Hoist

The first decision you’ll need to make is whether you want a wire rope or web strap model. Web strap hoists use polyester webbing, which is non-conductive and ideal for electrical work. This makes them perfect for linemen who work with live power lines, as they help reduce the risk of electrical shocks.

Wire rope models, on the other hand, use 7x19 aircraft cable and are generally more cost-effective for similar lifting capacities. If corrosion is a concern, especially in coastal areas, the Lug-All Marine Grade Ratchet Winch Hoist is a better choice. It features an anodized aluminum frame and stainless steel cable, making it highly resistant to rust and corrosion.

Capacity

Understanding the lifting and pulling capacity of your hoist is crucial. Lug-All winch hoists can function both as a winch and a hoist, allowing them to lift or pull depending on your needs.

The rated capacity listed for each model represents the maximum weight it can safely lift vertically. However, when pulling horizontally, the force can vary based on factors like friction and angle. For lifting, choose a hoist with a capacity equal to or greater than the weight you need to lift. For pulling, a slightly lower capacity may be sufficient, especially if you’re working with lighter loads.

Features

Consider the additional features that might enhance your experience. Some models include a rapid lowering feature, allowing you to lower heavy loads quickly. A wind-up wheel helps manage slack, while removable pulley blocks and conversion kits allow for more versatile operation.

Various hook options are also available, such as self-locking hooks, swivel gate hooks, and eye-bolt configurations, ensuring compatibility with different types of equipment and tasks.

Whether you're looking for a lightweight model for everyday use or a heavy-duty unit for industrial applications, Lug-All has a solution for you.
