Thern Hand Winches: Reliable Solutions for Lifting and Pulling
When it comes to manual lifting and pulling applications, Thern’s hand winches are trusted across industries for their durability and performance. At Bishop Lifting, we are proud to offer a wide selection of Thern hand winches designed to meet a variety of needs—from simple pulling tasks to demanding lifting applications.
Spur Gear vs. Worm Gear Hand Winches: What’s the Difference?
Thern manufactures both spur gear and worm gear hand winches, each offering unique benefits:
- Spur Gear Winches: Known for their efficiency and speed, spur gear winches have gears that engage directly, allowing for quick operation. These models are ideal for applications requiring frequent use and faster line speeds.
- Worm Gear Winches: Offering enhanced control and safety, worm gear winches feature a self-locking mechanism that prevents the load from moving unless the handle is turned. This makes them particularly suited for precision tasks and situations where holding the load in place is critical.
Lifting vs. Pulling: Choosing the Right Winch
Thern winches are versatile, but it’s essential to choose the right type for your specific application:
- Lifting Applications: Some Thern winches are equipped with a load-holding brake, making them safe and effective for lifting operations. These brakes automatically engage to hold the load securely when the handle is released, providing peace of mind during overhead lifting tasks.
- Pulling Applications: Not all winches are designed for lifting. Many Thern winches without a brake are engineered specifically for horizontal pulling tasks. These models are perfect for moving heavy loads across a surface, such as dragging equipment or positioning machinery.
Important Considerations
- Not for Hoisting Personnel: None of Thern's products are designed or rated for hoisting personnel. These winches are strictly for material lifting and pulling applications.
- Wire Rope Assemblies Sold Separately: To ensure proper compatibility and safety, wire rope assemblies must be purchased separately. Always use Thern-approved wire ropes for optimal performance and longevity.

Thern’s commitment to quality craftsmanship means you can rely on their winches for long-lasting performance in demanding environments. Whether you need a spur gear winch for speedy operations or a worm gear winch for controlled lifting, Thern offers a solution backed by decades of engineering excellence.
