Dear all,

I have just purchased one of the Hilka branded wire rope hoists 125/250Kg from Screwfix clearance, £64.99. Its the standard 'China' model but at least a brand that you can recognise!

The price seems very good so if anyone is interested grab one before they are gone!

I bought one of these 18 months ago (for more money) and it does exactly what it should, other than the speeds a bit quick for my use. Use it to lift on and off the mill table.

Even with the snatch block?

The same as mine, not used that often, but a god send when you need it!

I'm struggling for height!! Snatch block would't work.

Ahh, different problem! Snatch block is a much better lift speed on my Aldi version. I expect yours is the same machine in a different colour.

Maybe change the line for a smaller diameter and make a smaller snatch block - depending on mass to be lifted, of course?

Or reduce the cable length to the minimum, so it is only winding on the bare drum? Every little helps.🙂

Last silly suggestion - lower your mill table?

Noticed while doing the weekly shop in Lidl this morning that their Parkside brand 125/250 kg electric hoist was in stock again - £59.99 with a 3 year warranty.
