Re: Boat Winch for Hanger?

We've made a prototype using a $20 manual boat winch. It works just fine. You'll have to figure out which motor/gearbox combo gives you the speed and force you need.
We got a 140lb box 2ft off the ground in under 5 seconds.
Using a miniCim on a 16:1 gearbox connected to the 3:1 winch.
