How to Select the Right Lug-All Winch Hoist
Lug-All offers a variety of come along ratchet winch hoist models, each tailored to specific purposes. Some are built for professional-grade commercial use, while others cater to consumer needs. Deciding which model or features best suit your requirements can feel overwhelming. Let's break down the key considerations.
Type of Hoist
The first decision is whether you need a wire rope or web strap model. Lug-All’s web strap hoists are crafted from polyester webbing, providing excellent dielectric properties. This makes them ideal for linemen working near live power lines, minimizing electrical risks. On the other hand, Lug-All’s wire rope hoists utilize 7x19 aircraft cable. They tend to be more budget-friendly compared to their web strap counterparts with similar capacities, making them a practical choice for many consumers. If rust is a concern, web strap hoists eliminate the risk of corrosion. For highly corrosive environments like coastal or marine settings, however, the Lug-All Marine Grade Ratchet Winch Hoist, featuring an anodized aluminum frame and stainless steel cable, might be the superior option over a web strap hoist.
Lifting Capacity
Another crucial factor is the lifting or pulling capacity you require. Unlike many competitors, Lug-All winch hoists can function as both a winch and a hoist, enabling you to pull, lift, or even perform both tasks. When purchasing one of these hoists, it's vital to understand its capacity specifications. Each Lug-All winch hoist has a rated maximum capacity that represents the safest amount of vertical weight it can lift. For example, a hoist with a 4,000-pound capacity can vertically lift an object weighing 4,000 pounds. However, when pulling horizontally, the pulling force can vary based on several factors and may not always match the lifting capacity. If you plan to use your Lug-All come along mostly for lifting, select a hoist with a capacity equal to or greater than the maximum weight you need to lift. If it’s primarily for pulling, a capacity matching the weight of the object you're pulling should suffice, though a lower capacity can sometimes be adequate. Our lightweight series includes hoists designed for lower-capacity applications and works well for many consumer scenarios.
Features
Consider the range of available features as well. The rapid lowering feature enables quicker load release compared to the standard design. A wind-up wheel can be added to easily take up slack. Conversion kits and removable pulley blocks are also available, allowing you to switch between permanent single-line and double-line operations. Various hook options are available for diverse applications, including self-locking hooks, swivel gate hooks, and eye-bolt choices.
