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.

FAQs

What does self-braking mean on the AFD hand winch?

The AFD is fitted with an automatic load pressure brake that engages as soon as you stop cranking. The load is held in position without any additional action from the operator and without the need to manually engage a ratchet or locking mechanism. The brake activates at a minimum load of 10kg and holds reliably in any position, making it a safe and practical hand winch for lifting and holding loads at height.

What is the difference between the lifting and hauling capacities?

The AFD range has different rated capacities depending on the task. Lifting capacity refers to vertical load, with a maximum of 1,180kg on the larger models. Hauling capacity refers to pulling a load along an incline, rated up to 2,500kg at a 20% incline. Always ensure you are using the correct figure for your application and that your load falls within the rated limit for the specific model you have chosen.

Does the AFD winch come supplied with wire rope?

No. The AFD is supplied as standard without wire rope. Wire rope is available to order separately, and the quick cable fixing system with included cable clamp makes fitting straightforward without needing to remove the drum.

What is the difference between the AFD and the AFID?

The AFD uses a zinc-plated finish across all components, offering good corrosion resistance for most indoor and sheltered outdoor applications. The AFID is constructed from stainless steel 316L throughout, making it the better choice for more exposed outdoor environments, marine applications, or anywhere with significant moisture or chemical exposure.
