How Does a Winch Work?

I have searched far and wide for an answer to this question and I can not find it. Does a winch, more specifically a small electrical winch, use worm gears/spur gears/helical gears/other types of gears in order to lift the heavy loads that winches lift. Any information would be very helpful, How Stuff Works does not have any info, and that is usually where I fin dall the info I need. Thanks.

Aaron
