Winch and chain lifting heavy weights that have the advantage
When the weight of the object is small, the capstan and the chain can be used, it depends on what side you focus on. Is the value of the price, or security, or speed up?.
Winches are generally used for horizontal pulling, and the same force cannot be used for vertical lifting. When vertical lifting is used, if the object weighs 500 kilograms, the winch with 500 kilograms of tension can not be used. Use more than 500 kilos. However, there are winches for lifting, winch speed is relatively fast, with the safety of the brakes. Choose which tool you want to look at according to your own situation.
It is safer to use the chain (hand chain hoist) for lifting heavy loads. And hand hoist can lift heavier objects, fifty tons, 100 tons, less is lifting speed is relatively slow.
