Griphoist Mechanical Hoist and Rigging System

Part crane-part winch this dynamic system is hand-operated and portable using wire rope that is able to lift, pull, or transfer loads from one position to another. With a maximum weight limit measured in tons the griphoist is essential for moving material in remote locations too heavy to move by hand such as rocks exceeding 300 pounds and bridge stringers.
