You mean a capstan winch? These are used for rope haul lines and are
available in gas and electric versions. The trick is to have a mount for them
since you need something secure to anchor them.
They are available from suppliers of utility company products and tower
supplies. Try CESCO at 800-642-7698. Talk to Jay Kent and tell him I said hi.
Also, Western States Electric handles them (800-523-5368. They run around
$1200.
