Free Spool Winches

Our selection of free spool winches is designed for fast, efficient cable release and smooth control during setup or load handling. A free spool winch allows operators to quickly unwind cable by hand, reducing downtime and improving precision when positioning loads.

At Winchshop, we stock free spooling winch models from leading manufacturers, including Gebuwin, Wimag, Goliath, and Tiger Products. Options range from light-duty trailer winches like the Goliath TS Series to larger industrial designs such as the Gebuwin TC1500 Free Spool Winch.

For related options, you can also view our spur gear winches for precise gear-driven operation, stainless steel winches for corrosion-resistant performance, and pulling winches for horizontal cable handling.

FAQs

What is a free spool winch used for?

A free spool winch allows operators to manually release cable without using the handle, making setup faster and easier when positioning or reeling out cable.

How does a free spooling winch work?

A free spooling winch disengages the drum from the gear mechanism, allowing the cable to unwind freely by hand. This function reduces resistance and speeds up preparation time.

Are free spool winches suitable for heavy loads?

Yes. Our free spool winches are available in various capacities, from light-duty trailer applications to larger industrial and marine systems.

Do you stock stainless steel free spool winches?

Yes. We offer corrosion-resistant models, including stainless steel options from Gebuwin, designed for outdoor and marine use.

Which brands supply your free spool winches?

We supply free spool winches from trusted manufacturers such as Goliath, Gebuwin, Tiger Products, Wimag, and Winch Products.

Needing a replacement winch for a now discontinued one, I contacted Winchshop asking for a like for like. They identified a near identical winch and recommended it. Problem solved!

As ordered

Product arrived in good order and as described in good order.
It could have been better packaged as it was just loose in a large box with little to no stuffing.

Awesome customer service at Bury

I ordered a product online this morning, I was emailed not too long after to say that my order was ready. On collection I realised I had ordered the incorrect size. The two chaps in thew Bury office were great and helped me correct the issue.
They were both very friendly and helpful. Would recommend Bury to anyone.

10mm Pulling Rope - (PE -3,250 kgs) (SGE -2,925 kgs) Polyester Double Braid White with Blue Fleck
great value for money

bought this to aid pulling several long and heavy cables through ducts, in comparison with the powered winches this was the cheaper option and would get to me in time, easy and quick to set up and simple to use and pulled the cables through with no issues what so ever. great addition to my ever going tool collection.

AG100 Hand Winch

The build quality of the hand winch is very good; the only downside is that it takes a lot of turns to rise the washing line even if you’re just putting it up a little bit but overall, I am happy with my purchase.
