I was moving many items into my loft space from one of my rooms which I used to use as my small office.I no longer needed and my kids needed more spaces. So, I dumped a lot but needed to keep many items including small and heavy items such as a fast colour laser printer (Brother MFC-9330CDW).Based on the size of the printer, it is possible that it can go through the loft hatch, but it is impossible to move if I hold the printer by myself, and hold the ladder by my self and pass the small loft hatch.Not only the size of the items, but the weight was also the problem. I did not want to get injury while moving the items.So, I bought this, attached it onto the ceiling of the loft space, then, it made all the jobs very very simple, easy and quick. I only needed to use it for one day to move all the items I needed to move.I do not know how to call the small gadget to lift heavier item.I have never used that yet. Without using that, it can lift up to 125KG, with that, it can lift up to 250KG (with half lifting speed)This hoist saved huge amount of time. Moreover, I do not have to worry about my backache after moving such heavy items to the loft space. Recommended.

Fitted a longer rope as I use it on the 4th floor of the building (aprox 14m). Lifted tiles, cement and more (sometimes 70kg) no isues at all. Silent, not to heavy, saved my back 🙂

Very slow but does lift brackets could be a little bigger to fit over scaffold pole but I hit brought some longer bolts and does the job

Easy assembly, works well, short power cable which I'm sure is for safety. Happy.

Hilka winch - The winch is not supplied 'as seen'. The top 'support' bar and brackets, shown on the sales illustration, are not supplied. There was no manual or instructions supplied. I failed to get a VAT invoice, although I had 2 seperate invoices one showing nett and the other inc. of VAT; but no VAT 'number' shown, as required. One of the three threaded 8mm holes was defective. The winch itself worked well.

Excellent product at a decent price. Used it to lift a 125kg solar battery up onto the garage wall. On my own. Mains power lead is at least 3 metres too short!
