Winches and hoists

Winches and hoists form the core of our range for lifting and pulling operations. Winches are lifting or pulling devices that move loads both vertically and horizontally. They are available in electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic versions.

About our winches and hoists

Our air winches are compact, robustly constructed in steel, and comply with strict ATEX safety requirements, making them ideal for potentially explosive environments such as onshore and offshore applications.

Hoists specialize in the vertical lifting of very heavy loads. Our Ingersoll-Rand air hoists do not generate sparks, making them particularly suitable for offshore and other hazardous working environments. Thanks to their easy installation and reliable performance, they are often used as replacements in existing systems or as temporary solutions.

At Laco Techniek, you will find Ingersoll-Rand hoists and winches in various capacities, both for sale and for rent. As a certified importer, we deliver quickly from stock and offer personal advice to help you make the right choice for your application.

Differences between models

At Laco Techniek, we understand that no two work situations are the same. That is why we offer a wide range of hoists and winches, each with their own characteristics and advantages. Depending on the application, load, and environment, you can choose a specific drive or control type. Below, we explain the most important models.

  • Pneumatic hoists: use of a chain mechanism with electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic drive.
  • Manual hoists and winches: with cable on a drum, often with brake function.
  • Electric winches and hydraulic winches: motorized, suitable for heavier work.

Our advisors will be happy to help you choose the right model for your working environment and safety requirements.

Rent or buy – flexible and expert

Whether you are looking for a temporary solution or want to make a long-term investment, Laco Techniek is the right place for you. We offer our winches and hoists for both rent and sale, always with professional, tailor-made advice.

  • Renting is ideal for short-term projects, planned maintenance, or seasonal work. You benefit from maximum flexibility without major investments, and you always have access to well-maintained, certified equipment.
  • Buying is the best choice if you use winches and hoists regularly or structurally. When you purchase, we also offer additional options such as maintenance contracts, inspections, and breakdown service, so you are assured of reliable performance in the long term.

Whatever your situation, our specialists are happy to help you find the right approach.
