capacity: 170kg/240kg
Sites that lift structural members, curtain wall glass and advertising boards rarely have three-phase power standing at the work point. That is the case this winch was built for: compact enough to move from place to place, light enough to handle, and content with single-phase 110V or 220V, which is where the cost saving begins.

Model. CM170/240 Mini Electric Winch is a single-phase wire rope winch for sites that lift structural members, curtain wall glass and advertising boards, where three-phase power is rarely available at the work point. It covers two rated loads, 170kg for the CM170 and 240kg for the CM240, and both run on 220V 50/60Hz at 19m/min with 30m of 5mm wire rope. GOODIDEA builds the model to be compact enough to move from place to place and light enough to handle, and this article covers its specifications, protection features and how the two versions compare.
The product description from GOODIDEA starts from a site problem: crews lifting structural members, curtain wall glass and advertising boards seldom have three-phase power at the work point. The CM170/240 is built for exactly that case. It accepts single-phase 110V or 220V, whichever the site provides, and the manufacturer says this is where the cost saving begins.

The two versions share voltage, speed and rope, so the choice depends on load and motor power. The CM240 lifts 70kg more than the CM170, about 41 percent higher capacity, and it adds 300W of motor power and only 1kg of net weight. By the published numbers, the CM170 weighs 17kg for a 170kg rating, a ratio of 10 to 1, and the CM240 weighs 18kg for 240kg, about 13.3 to 1. GOODIDEA offers both under one model name so buyers can match the winch to the heaviest load on the job.
Industrial grade is what the permanent-magnet brushless motor is built to, and damaging it is not easy. Supply is single phase at either 110V or 220V. Power output and efficiency are high, which makes long time working the normal case. Temperature protection sits on the winding, overload protection sits beside it, and stepless speed regulation sets the pace. The enameled wire takes 200 degrees Celsius, which lifts working capacity 50 percent over the ED series.
No capacitor is used anywhere in the circuit, and an SCM does the switching. Running stays stable, the power factor stays high, and plug and pull wiring keeps operation easy and maintenance quick. GOODIDEA presents this as a benefit for whoever services the machine.
Braking comes from two arrangements working as one, a mechanical ratchet and resistive short-circuit control. The sintered brake and its high friction coefficient are the reason for motor durability. When power is cut or a winch fault occurs, the drum brakes at once, which is where the safety and long service life come from. Two conditions trip the limit switch, the hook arriving at a certain lifting height and the wire rope reversing, and either way the machine is protected and work stops.
| Component | What is stated |
|---|---|
| Wire rope | Top brand import, safety factor 4 times that of ordinary machines |
| Gear system | High efficiency bevel drive reduction gear with special heat treatment, strength three times that of ordinary products |
| Housing | Single aluminum alloy die-casting holding motor and gearbox together |
| Machining | High precision CNC machining for smooth and quiet running |
| Finish | Automobile grade powder coating, with a compact footprint |
The Mini Electric winch category at GOODIDEA lists three models rated at 170kg and 240kg: the CM170/240, the CS170/240 and the CT170/240. Buyers who need this capacity pair can compare the three product pages and choose the one that fits their site.
QDoes the CM170/240 need three-phase power?
No. It runs on single-phase 110V or 220V.
QHow much more motor power does the CM240 have?
The CM240 motor is rated at 1600W and the CM170 motor at 1300W, a difference of 300W.
QWhat is the net weight of each version?
The CM170 weighs 17kg and the CM240 weighs 18kg.
QDo both versions have the same wire rope?
Yes. Both carry 30m of 5mm wire rope.
QWhat triggers the limit switch?
The hook arriving at a certain lifting height, or the wire rope reversing, triggers the limit switch.
QHow is the motor winding protected?
Temperature protection sits on the winding and overload protection sits beside it.
QHow strong is the gear system?
The bevel drive reduction gear receives special heat treatment, and its strength is three times that of ordinary products.
QWhich other models share the 170kg and 240kg rating?
The CS170/240 and the CT170/240 are listed with the same capacities.
The CM170/240 gives single-phase sites a 170kg or 240kg wire rope winch at 17kg to 18kg, with dual braking, a limit switch and a 30m rope. Buyers can send their load and voltage requirements to GOODIDEA and confirm which version fits.
