Choosing a winch

To work out whether the Yale RPE is the right wire rope winch for you, it is necessary to also compare it against the other options we supply here at LGD. 

As well as electric winches, we stock manual winches which are compact and reliable, as well as pneumatic winches which can provide power and performance in contexts where electric alternatives are not usable. 

If you determine that a winch is not exactly what you need for safe lifting, you might consider some of our other products on offer, which includes hoists, material handling equipment and much more besides. 

We even make custom gantry systems for clients of all shapes and sizes, with all of our own brand products fully tested to comply with relevant regulations, giving you great value for money as well as peace of mind.
