Thanks Mike.
I've actually found what looks to be a suitable worm operated hand winch - a bit pricey but there you go :med:
Should be here on Monday - I've opted for webbing rather than wire rope.

Not a big job to fit a motor to that :poke:
awemawson:
True, but electrics over complicate it. Stay mechanical and no need to rig up a power supply !
It's for 'once in a blue moon' use and I feel that the total control turning a mechanical handle gives is well worth the minor effort.
awemawson:
Much to my surprise the winch was delivered this morning so I've been able to get on with a few things:
A/ I made up a taller 'main mast' - this time 42" tall to use the headroom over the chuck
B/ I cut the 'Bi-Fold' arms - conveniently from the previous shorter mast as each are 15" long
C/ I drilled the 12 mm pivot holes the the bi-fold arms and made up 'anti-crush' tube for inside the box section (it's 3 mm wall but best to reinforce it)
D/ I made up a pair of pivot brackets to weld on the mast but decided that they were too wimpy
E/ I re-drew the pivot brackets so that they encircle the mast with a 6 mm x 10 mm band
F/ I made a tab to weld on the end of the far arm to accommodate the width of the winch base then drilled and tapped M8 to fix the winch in place.
I still need to convert the base into a box beam, weld on the mast and fit reinforcing fillets, and make and fit a roller for the lifting webbing on the far end of the end beam.
