Giantz 510w Electric Hoist Winch

Whereas I haven’t had a chance to commission it for work; it certainly looks like reasonable quality.The fact that it requires 240v is not well advertised, therefore makes it less of a vehicular mobile utility.Also it would be practical to offer assesories at a reasonable price; like girders and lifting frames to complete its usability's

Great price for the capabilityComfortably holding my roof top tent from the ceiling

Cannot fault the hoist, has many possibilities, works well, quiet and safe

Fantastic product the finish is superb

Decent build, works a treat

A decently built unit. I put some 8mm eye-bolts into the top so that I could sling it from the garage roof. Works a treat. I only need to lift 100kg tops but I still doubled up the cable to get the extra lift.

Excellent winch

Is a very handy winch but is easy to overload order a bigger size than you need and everything will be just fine. Nice and smooth operation

Good Enough

Seems reasonable quality for the price. It is likely that it can lift what it claims. Test lift showed it doesn't even strain or slow when lifting 50kg. It took about 18 seconds to lift 3 metres. Power cable is quite short. The plastic control box is low quality and may or may not last years.

Good value for money

I've only used the hoist a couple of times so far, lifting about 60 kg. Works well however it is quiet fast. I've added a double snack block to the bottom with a single snatch block the top to quad the cable. This has slowed the lifting and lowering speed down so its more suitable for my application. I knew I would have to do this before I bought the hoist so not unexpected. So far the hoist has worked as expected with no problems. If the manufacturer were able to sell a slower speed version of this, or supply it with both a single and double snatch block, it would be better.

Great value

For the price the winch is really good value. I use it in the shed to lift some heavy stuff like my ride on mower. Doesn't miss a beat. Just needs a longer lead on it for my application. Recommended.

Make sure you test that works before putting it up.

Bought this to mount under my (high) carport roof to allow mounting roof racks etc on my Landcruisers and loading other gear. The install went fine, but when I tested it the drum was jammed and wouldn't come down. I was forced to apply a heavy load to it and managed to free it up and it now goes up and down ok, but in doing this I did bend the 2 x 300kg rated brackets that hold the running beam so it's now operating on about a 45 degree angle lengthwise. But it works ok.

Well engineered with more than enough grunt for my purposes.

I used this hoist to swap out the old rope pulley system in my dumb waiter. This electric hoist is powerful and solidly engineered and does the job well with just the push of a button.
