Winch & Hoist Selector
Enter what you need to pull or lift and how far. You'll get the Columbia models that fit, layer-by-layer performance, wire rope sizing, fleet angle, duty cycle and drawings. Same engine our sales team uses.
1 · Enter unit type and power input
* Special voltage — quoted on request. 208V is shown at 230V performance; some motors are rated for 208V, others need a 208V motor.
2A · Enter application data—— OR ——
2B · Pick a specific unit known model — no requirements needed
Pick any catalog unit matching the type & power above to jump straight to its layer performance and wire-rope sizing. Units without drum geometry (heavy hoists) show rated first-layer performance.
2 · Recommended models — smallest unit that meets the pull at the working layer (standard drum first, a wider drum only if it's needed)
Enter the application above and click Find units.
Each candidate is tried on its standard drum first, stepping up to a wider drum only if that's what reaches your travel; wire rope is sized to your standard and bumped to a standard size where possible.

Performance is calculated layer by layer from drum geometry and rated first-layer pull and speed. Wire rope is sized to the selected standard. Estimates for engineering reference: we confirm every selection against a full engineering sheet with your quote.
