Thread: game hoist

Gun city had some with the auto lock so you didn't need to tie off were about 150. Shoof do one as well with auto lock think they were around 200

I would be a bit nervous using the autolock, and would still tie off the rope as a backup - I saw some horrible injuries at the meatworks caused by carcasses moving when they weren't expected to.

@Jhon had one like that years ago same as couple links above i found them to be pretty average and the rope diameter is to small. ok for one or two animals a year.
@country cuts we brought a Shoof 4:1 one from farmlands i think they are closer to $300 still not as good as the one in the link i put up. Also had to replace the rope not long after purchase. Even pulling up big 100kg rams can be hard work with when you are doing a dozen at a time

I have had a email back from Reloaders to say they were importing them directly from USA which they are no longer doing

If you are lifting that sort of weight a hand winch might be better. You can get ones with a brake in them and winch up and down so your not trying to hold the weight while flicking the tab over on a boat type winch

Thanks. Wicked setup.

Anyone tried one of these?
Might be the go for portable jobs.
Just runs of a cordless drill.
