Capstan Winches

Our range of capstan winches provides controlled pulling and lifting for forestry, utility, industrial, and cable-handling work. A capstan winch is designed to maintain constant pulling power without the limitations of drum capacity, making it ideal for long-distance pulls or applications requiring consistent tension.


We offer capstan winches for sale across battery, petrol, and electric models. Our portable winch range includes compact battery-powered winches rated up to 1000kg, as well as petrol capstan winches from 700kg to 1150kg pulling capacity. For fixed-site or cable installation work, electric capstan winches up to 2500kg are available, along with accessories including rope, ground anchors, and mounting systems.

For related equipment, you can also explore our vehicle winches for recovery and loading work, hydraulic winches for high-duty pulling applications, or our range of lifting winches for controlled vertical handling in workshop and site environments.

Let customers speak for us

from 763 reviews

The 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.

Finally, a hook that's got me hooked

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!

Excellent Ground anchor!

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.

Chris Wilson

FAQs

What are capstan winches used for?

Capstan winches are used for pulling and lifting tasks where continuous rope feed is required, such as forestry operations, utility work, cable installation, and industrial pulling.

How does a capstan winch work?

A capstan winch uses a rotating drum that maintains friction on the rope, allowing the operator to pull indefinitely without drum storage limits. The operator controls tension manually to manage the load.

What capacities do your capstan winches cover?

We offer models ranging from lightweight 700kg pulling winches up to 2500kg electric units, with lifting capacities clearly specified depending on the model.

Do you supply both portable and fixed capstan winches?

Yes. Our range includes portable battery and petrol capstan winches for field work, as well as electric capstan winches designed for stationary cable pulling or industrial setups.
