I am trying to use it for our winch.
Linear mechanism tab is the way to go. Note that you have to account for any increase in pulley diameter (due to rope wrapping increasing the effective diameter of the pulley) manually when setting up the calculations.

You can also use the rotary mechanism tab but then you have to calculate the number of rotations required to climb.
