Goliath AFD Self-Braking Hand Winch
The Goliath AFD is a self-braking hand winch designed for both lifting and hauling applications, combining a compact and lightweight build with a reliable automatic load pressure brake. It is one of the most straightforward and cost-effective hand winches for lifting and hauling available, and is widely used across industrial, agricultural, construction and site environments.
Built to perform in demanding environments, all components in the AFD range are zinc plated for solid corrosion resistance straight from the box. The spur gear mechanism delivers high efficiency and smooth operation, and the enclosed, protected stamped gears keep the internal workings clean and reliable in demanding conditions. The automatic load pressure brake holds the load securely in any position without any input from the operator, and the quick cable fixing system with included cable clamp means installation is straightforward. Wire rope mounts easily without requiring drum removal.
The AFD range is available in six models, from the compact 4AFD up to the 20AFD, covering lifting capacities from 190kg up to 1,180kg and hauling capacities up to 2,500kg at a 20% incline. Column or base mounting options are available across the range. A stainless steel variant, the AFID, is also stocked for applications where greater corrosion resistance is required. All models comply with BS EN 13157 and hold CE and TUV certification.
If you need a self-braking winch with a different form factor or braking mechanism, our BHW Manual Winch collection covers the Tiger brake hand winch range, and our Worm Gear Winches collection is worth considering for higher capacity lifting applications.

from 761 reviewsThe pulley was just as I was wanting it has worked perfectly. I have recently refurbished the church bell on our historic church ,it had various problems . The main one being the pull rope was originally outside the building and needed redirecting inside hence the need for a pulley.
Good quick service on every occasion.
Great service, good communication and delivered on time.
Highly recommend

Great overall experience. From ordering on their site. Reasonably priced. Quick delivery. And easy to install once delivered.
Found yhe number on my appliance. Found theitem on line ordered and it arrived very quickly. Perfect. Thank you
I'll be honest — I never thought I'd be writing a love letter to a karabiner, yet here we are.
I work in soft play installations, which means I spend an uncomfortable amount of time clipping myself to padded and wrapped steel frameworks at height, trying not to think too hard about what's keeping me up there. My old hooks had other ideas — turns out they had no interest in fitting around anything thicker than a pencil, leaving me doing a sort of elaborate lanyard origami every time I needed to get some work done. Not ideal when you're dangling above a sea of foam blocks and plastic slides.
Enter the Alloy Steel Double Action Tower Hook. 85mm gate opening — wide enough to actually be useful. 23kN rated strength — strong enough that I've stopped quietly making peace with my life every time I clip on. It fits around padded and wrapped steel with about 3mm to spare, which in the world of work at height feels practically luxurious.
It's robust, reliable, and does exactly what it says on the tin — or in this case, the carabiner. No drama, no improvisation, no wrapping lanyards around things and hoping for the best.
If you work at height and need something that will actually grip what you need it to grip, stop scrolling. Your lanyard deserves better, and frankly, so do you.
10/10 — would not fall without it.
A quality product. Easy to fit and use. Dave was a great help in answering all my pre-purchase questions for winch and pulley.
Amazing delivery time!
Just what I was looking for, big enough, managed to get it in the ground with the help of crowbar to twist it into the ground.
Did what it said on the box - very happy!!
