Stationary winches

Stationary

— stationary units are called units that do not have devices for moving from place to place during operation. Note that not all such models are designed to be permanently in the same place. For example, car winches (see "Device") are indeed attached to the car as permanent equipment and are removed only as a last resort; but cargo winches and most hoists are hung from one suitable place to another without much difficulty. Moreover, many of these devices can be installed on a carriage (see "Complete set") and turned into mobile ones (see the relevant paragraph), although initially no carriages are provided in the design and delivery set.

Since, when lifting loads, it is relatively rare to have to move them in a suspended form also horizontally, most of the lifting mechanisms are made precisely stationary. In addition, the same design is optimal for purely horizontal movement of goods (including pulling cars).
