Hand-held Drill Machine for rigging
Hand-held Drill Machine for rigging
(OP)
I'm looking for a heavy duty hand-held drill machine. What it does is to drive a winch on site to lift up ~1700 lbs of load. It needs to have a speed of ~10 fpm rise.
I've found this product and have tested it. It was able to lift up the load, but it only archive about 1/3 the speed.

Does anybody know any similar product that will run off 110V but provide a higher horsepower?
Thanks.

Good catch Greg. I guess 3 Amps isn't a huge draw for most circuits.

Short version: The improvised hoist, not properly designed for hoisting, e.g, lacking an automatic load brake, failed and dropped the load. Personal injuries resulted, and large sums of money changed hands.

Here's the concept of the problem:
The load is carried by a simple structure. There's nothing but some simple pulleys and a brake winch on the structure. We're to go to the site, lower the load, service it, and crank it back up. Hand crank is available but we're trying to find a "drill" of some sort to crank it up.
Maybe a "drill" is mis-leading. The link I've initially posted was actually a "electrical bore machine".
Is there any kind of hoist or "turning machine" you know of that can provide the kind of power we need? (1700lb and 10fpm)
Thanks.

Why not get a simple electric vehicle winch, 12 or 24 volt, and use that? This would make you even more portable as you could take HD batteries to power it.
This site in UK, http://www.electricwinches.co.uk/index.htm
has several examples, their smallest one capable of lifting 3000lbs!
I'm sure you can find the same wherever you are, and they are not expensive.
THINK SAFETY! KEEP CLEAR!

Alternatively, if you do have to remove the motor/winch (for another job?) then you could run the cable above the winch through a "clamping device". You can than clamp the cable once you have raised the load to its resting position, remove the cable from the winch all together, which is quite an easy thing to do with a vehicle winch, and take the whole thing away to the next job??? Just a possibility!
Just for the record, what on earth is this huge weight doing suspended up in the air?
RE: Hand-held Drill Machine for rigging
Look at the hand recovery winches on this site - they are easy to use, cheaper and are "self clamping".

Amazing what you can find out in a cave!!!

Could this be adapted for your application.
