Compact Hand-Winch Fork Lifts
This range uses manual winch lifting and offers different base layouts and mast heights. Normal fork positions and forks-up positions have different working ranges, which are kept separate in the specifications.
Features and selection
- Manual hand-winch lift
- Standard, straddle and counterbalanced bases
- Normal and forks-up height information
Check base access, load centre and the exact fork orientation required. These compact manual lifts are not direct replacements for powered warehouse counterbalanced stackers.

Common questions
Does a counterbalanced base mean powered driving?
No. The listed counterbalanced versions are still manual hand-winch lifts.
Can I use the forks-up height as the normal lift height?
No. The height ranges refer to different fork positions; use the correct configuration and instructions.
