Any thoughts on using a Harbor Freight winch for a U.S. Tower 55 ft crankup?? I think the one sold by U.S. Towe is around $1200 versus $150 for the Harbor Freight model. Mike W8TRN __________________

I have a 52-SS I am putting up here and it has an AC winch on it. Thinking about switching to a DC winch, so I am interested in responses regarding possible winches. Michael Goins, k5wmg Professor, W

"Jeep" winches have a very low duty cycle and wouldn't be suitable for sustained operation to raise/lower a tower. They are only designed to get a jeep of a "holler" or maybe get a boat in and out of

Mike, I would look at the 1300 lb rated "Hoist" from Harbor Freight. It uses wire rope not chain and is designed for overhead lifting. Several people in the Phoenix area have fixed these to crankup t

You might consider a worm gear winch. It won't spin out of control if your hand sides off the handle. It's also very simple to hook up a 1/2 or 3/4 hp motor. http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/deta

DO NOT!!!! buy the Harbor Freight version of that winch! Total garbage, won't last a week. The worm gear will wear the teeth right off the lousy unhardened ring gear. Just ask AB7E if you want a seco

Remember guys, There is a big difference between a winch and a hoist. Most winches have a "freespool" feature, and believe me, you do NOT want that on your crank up tower! That invites disaster! N6RK
