How to Choose a Lug-All Winch Hoist
Lug-All offers a wide range of come-along ratchet winch hoists designed for various applications. Whether you're looking for something for professional use or personal projects, there's a model that fits your needs. But how do you determine which one is right for you? Let’s break it down.
Type of Hoist
The first decision you’ll face is whether to go with a wire rope or web strap model. Web strap hoists from Lug-All are made with polyester webbing, which is non-conductive and ideal for working around live power lines. This makes them a safer choice for linemen or anyone handling electrical equipment.
Wire rope models, on the other hand, use 7x19 aircraft cable, which is more durable and cost-effective for many consumer applications. If rust is a concern, web strap hoists can be a better option since they don’t have metal components that corrode. However, in environments like coastal areas or marine settings, the Marine Grade Ratchet Winch Hoist — featuring an anodized aluminum frame and stainless steel cable — is a superior choice.
Capacity
Understanding the lifting and pulling capacity of your winch hoist is crucial. Lug-All hoists are versatile and can be used for both lifting and pulling. The rated capacity refers to the maximum weight the hoist can lift vertically. For example, a 4,000-pound hoist can lift a 4,000-pound object straight up.
When it comes to horizontal pulling, the force can vary depending on friction and other factors. If your main use is lifting, choose a hoist with a capacity equal to or greater than what you need. For pulling tasks, a slightly lower capacity may suffice, especially if the load isn't too heavy. Lug-All also offers lightweight models perfect for everyday use.
Features
Additional features can make your job easier. Some models include a rapid lowering function, allowing you to lower a load faster. A wind-up wheel helps take up slack quickly, while removable pulley blocks and conversion kits let you adjust the hoist for different operations.
Various hook options are available, including self-locking hooks, swivel gate hooks, and eye-bolt attachments. These options help tailor the hoist to specific tasks and improve safety.

A carbon Steel Plate has usually been considered as the steel that does not contain much alloy steel elements, also named as mild steel. Generally, elements are C, Mn, P, S, Si, besides these, there are no minimum limits for elements of Al, Cr, Ni, Mo, V, etc.
Carbon steel plates are available in different grades depending on the carbon content and strength.
As the content of Carbon increase, the steel plate hardness increases.
Low carbon steel plate: For carbon content 0.06% to 0.25%, also we call it Mild Steel Plate.
Medium carbon steel plate: C content from 0.25% to 0.55%.
High carbon steel plate: 0.55% to 1.0%, also called hard steel plate.
Low carbon steel is the most common form, and it's very malleable and ductile. Medium carbon steel balances ductility as well as strength for excellent wear resistance. High carbon steel is exceptionally strong, while ultra-high carbon steel can be tempered to even greater hardness but no malleability.
As the percentage of carbon gets larger, steel can become harder and stronger through heat-treating. Carbon steel is usually heated to change the mechanical properties of steel, usually ductility, hardness, strength, and resistance of impact. Increasing the carbon content of carbon steel makes it harder and stronger, but reduces the steel`s ability to be welded, making it more brittle.
Carbon steel plate is most often used for structural purposes such as buildings, yet it has the flexibility to be worked into ornate designs. Low carbon steel sheet (wrought iron) is typically used for fences, chain links, gates, and railings. Structural steel (medium carbon steel) is used in cars, refrigerators, washing machines, buildings, and bridges. The steel sheets are normally made up of medium carbon steel.
