Güde Manual Winch 360 kg 10 m
The manual winch is the simplest and most portable tool for horizontal pulling. It does not amplify manual force like a lever hoist but winds the rope onto a drum, pulling the load in a controlled and progressive manner.
Clear differences compared to hoists:
-
No amplification – The torque applied to the crank transfers directly to the drum. It's not "easy," but it is controlled and predictable
-
Variable rope length – The 10 meters allow significant pulling distances, ideal where space is limited or the load is distant
-
Absolute lightness – 2.9 kg net. It can be carried in a backpack or van without taking up space. Perfect for mobile operators
-
Passive locking – The mechanical ratchet holds the load in place without maintenance
Who chooses it:
-
Farmers and gardeners – For extracting fence posts, straightening heavy branches, pulling nets, or loads on uneven terrain. Lightness and portability are priorities over sheer force
-
Forestry operators – For recovering fallen branches, stabilizing temporary loads in the woods. No electricity, no risk of collateral damage
-
Car and motorcycle repair shops – Extracting seized engines or stabilizing vehicles on uneven ground. Mechanical simplicity means no possible breakdowns
-
Installers of temporary systems – Circus tents, temporary structures, light construction site equipment where the winch is not permanent
Who chooses it in Italy
Farms with large areas – For recurring maintenance operations (fences, drainage, material recovery), the 10 m winch reduces the number of movements. Very light, quick to mount on a temporary beam. The long rope allows working at a distance.
Forestry sites and land reclamation companies – In the woods, where electricity is not available, the hand-cranked winch is the only practical solution. The 10 m rope covers significant distances. With a controlled 360 kg, it stabilizes important loads without collateral damage to delicate structures.
Small workshops and mobile workshops – Tire fitters and mechanics working on-site appreciate the low weight (2.9 kg). It takes up negligible space in the van, always works without maintenance, and allows precise engine extractions with incremental control.

Who is the Güde 360 kg 10 m manual winch suitable for?
| Profile |
Suitable? |
Reason |
| Advanced hobbyist / large garden |
Ideal |
Lightweight (2.9 kg), maximum portability, and sufficient capacity for most maintenance tasks. 10 m rope allows pulling over a significant distance. |
| Agriculture, livestock farming, forestry |
Ideal |
For recurring operations of controlled pulling and stabilization. Zero maintenance, absolute reliability, minimal weight. Standard in companies operating without external power sources. |
| Repair shop / mobile workshop |
Adequate |
360 kg capacity covers extractions of light and medium engines. For heavy engines or industrial cycles, consider motorized chain hoists. |
Not suitable for: Vertical lifting (winch is exclusively horizontal); loads exceeding 500 kg (exceed design capacity); rapid and repeated work cycles (slower than motorized chain hoists).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a winch and a lever hoist?
A winch pulls by winding the rope onto a hand-cranked drum. A lever hoist amplifies manual effort through a lever-cam mechanism. The winch is simpler, lighter, and more portable; the hoist amplifies force. For 360 kg with a winch, a firm crank is needed; the same load with a 2000 kg lever hoist is easier. Choose a winch for simplicity and lightness, a hoist for amplification.
Comparison:
- Winch: 360 kg, 2.9 kg, 10 m rope, zero amplification, total simplicity
- Lever hoist HS-2000: 2000 kg, 2.87 kg, 2.8 m stroke, 4-5:1 amplification
Can I use the winch to lift a load vertically?
No. The Güde winch is specifically designed for horizontal pulling. For vertical lifts, contact Krollit for chain or lever hoists certified for vertical mounting. Attempting a vertical lift could damage the hook and internal bearings.
How is the winch mounted on the structure?
The winch includes a mounting plate (95 × 92 mm) to be screwed onto a sturdy horizontal beam. The beam must support at least 10× the applied load (3600 kg for a 360 kg winch). Choose hardwood (oak, beech) or steel. A detailed mounting guide is available upon request from Krollit.
How much force is needed on the crank?
It depends on the drum's reduction ratio (not declared by the manufacturer). With a typical ratio of 10:1, the effort to pull 360 kg is about 36 kg-force, distributed along the length of the crank. Consult the Güde technical manual or measure directly during initial use for your specific context.
How much rope is wound per crank revolution?
Not declared by the manufacturer. It depends on the drum diameter and the internal reduction ratio. Consult the Güde technical manual or contact Krollit for detailed specifications. In practice, each revolution pulls the load a few centimeters towards the mounting structure.
Does the winch require maintenance?
Minimal. The mechanical ratchet is self-locking and does not require periodic lubrication. Recommended:
- Clean the rope after use in dusty environments
- Inspect the hook every 6-12 months
- Check the crank for excessive play (rare)
No special lubricants, no oil changes. Service life over 10 years in ordinary use.
Is the 10 m rope replaceable?
Yes. Replacement Güde rope is available to order from Krollit with a 5-7 day lead time. Request the exact model (360 kg 10 m) for compatibility with the specific drum diameter.
What is the advantage of a 10 m rope compared to smaller models?
The length allows pulling loads over a significant distance. In agriculture and forestry, where a load needs to be stabilized 10 meters away (e.g., extracting a fence post from uneven terrain), a long rope is essential. Smaller models (e.g., 5 m) are more compact but limited in application range.
Is the winch suitable for permanent or only mobile use?
Both. The mounting plate allows permanent mounting on a structural beam. In agriculture and construction, many companies mount it on existing beams (sheds, fences, temporary structures) and leave it in place. The mechanical ratchet does not require regular maintenance.
