Product description

Motor system
A permanent magnet brushless maglev motor of industrial grade forms the drive, and it resists damage in continuous site use. Input is single phase, selectable at 110V or 220V. High power output paired with high efficiency is what makes long time working sustainable. Temperature protection and overload protection are both fitted, speed regulation is stepless, and the enameled wire is rated for 200 °C. Measured against the ED series, working capacity rises 50%.

Electric control system
Control sits with an SCM, on a circuit that uses no capacitor at all. Two things follow from that: stable performance, and a high power factor. Plug and pull wiring then keeps operation convenient and maintenance reliable.

Brake system
Two braking principles are combined, mechanical ratchet braking and resistive short-circuit control. The sintered brake, running a high friction coefficient, is what gives the motor its durability. On power failure or winch failure, braking takes effect immediately, and from there come both the high safety and the long service life.

Safety system
Two triggers stop the machine: the hook reaching a certain lifting height, and the wire rope reversing. In either case the limit switch protects the machine and work stops.

Cable specifications
Wire rope is imported from a top brand, carrying a safety factor 4 times that of ordinary machines.

Gear system
Reduction runs through a high efficiency bevel drive reduction gear. Special heat treatment raises the strength of this type of gear to three times that of ordinary products.

Main unit housing
One aluminum alloy die-casting, with strong toughness, contains motor and gearbox in a single piece. High precision CNC machining is what delivers smooth running and low noise. Powder coating at automobile grade preserves a nice appearance, and the overall unit stays compact.

170/240kg Mini Electric Winch Model. CS170/240 Industry knowledge

At GOODIDEA, we design and manufacture compact electric winches for construction and material-handling applications where site power is limited and installation time matters. We manufacture the Model. CS170/240 MINI ELECTRIC WINCH in our Qidong factory, combining a 170 kg or 240 kg rated load with 19 m/min line speed and 30 m of 5 mm wire rope in a 17-18 kg package. As a China-based OEM AC electric winch manufacturer and portable electric hoist factory, we supply it to facade contractors, curtain-wall installers, sign erectors and freight-handling teams.

Application Fit and Operating Boundaries

The CS170/240 is intended for lifting and positioning loads in building construction and maintenance: hanging structural components, curtain-wall glass panels, advertising boards, and materials being moved for storage or freight. The compact one-piece housing and easy-to-use power supply make it practical for temporary jobsites where the winch must be moved quickly between work positions.

It is a portable material winch, not a crane replacement. The unit is not designed or approved for raising or lowering people, and the working load should be limited to the rated capacity printed on the nameplate.

Design and Safety Systems

Motor system

The permanent-magnet brushless motor is industrial-grade and designed for long-run handling. It has no capacitor in the circuit; the SCM control provides stable performance, high power factor, temperature protection, overload protection and stepless speed regulation. The motor winding uses high-temperature enameled wire rated to 200 degrees C, supporting a 50 % duty cycle (ED50) for longer continuous operation.

Braking

The dual braking system combines a mechanical ratchet and resistive short-circuit control. A high-friction sintered brake holds the drum and brings it to an immediate stop on power failure or winch fault.

Safety limit

A limit switch stops the machine when the hook reaches the upper lifting height or when the wire rope reverses, protecting both the winch and the operator.

Mechanical build

The high-efficiency bevel-drive reduction gear is specially heat treated and rated at three times the strength of ordinary gears. The motor and gearbox share a one-piece aluminum alloy die-cast housing that is CNC machined for smooth, low-noise running, then powder coated with an automotive-grade finish.

Position in the Mini Electric Winch Range

The CS170/240 sits in the compact end of our mini electric winch line. The same 170 kg and 240 kg capacity family includes the Model. CM170/240 MINI ELECTRIC WINCH and the Model. CT170/240 MINI ELECTRIC WINCH, while the M, S and T models extend the range to 160 kg, 230 kg, 300 kg, 280 kg, 360 kg and 500 kg capacities. The wider Mini Electric Winch range is applied to curtain-wall installation, glass handling, sign erection and light industrial material movement.

For OEM projects, the winch can be branded and the control configuration specified at order review. We use the same production line and quality checks for standard and private-label versions.

Control, Power and Jobsite Integration

The standard CS170/240 operates on 220 V 50/60 Hz single-phase supply, with a 110 V version available. The capacitor-free circuit improves power factor on light-duty site supplies, and stepless speed regulation allows controlled positioning of fragile loads such as glass panels.

Control wiring

plug-in wiring lets the operator connect the hand control without opening the motor housing.

Mounting

the self-contained unit can be mounted on structural steel or a transport frame, with the built-in motor, brake, drum and control in one assembly.

Rope layout

the winch is supplied with 30 m of 5 mm wire rope and should be rigged so the rope leaves the drum perpendicular to the flange.

Site boundaries

confirm nameplate voltage and frequency before connection; allow clearance for the upper limit switch and keep the rope path free of sharp edges.

Installation, Maintenance and Service

Install the winch on a rigid, level support that can withstand the rated pull. Route the rope clear of sharp edges, keep the line perpendicular to the drum, and confirm that the hook and limit switch are correctly positioned before working at height.

For daily operation, inspect the wire rope for broken wires and corrosion, check the hook latch, verify limit switch operation, and test that the brake holds the rated load. Spare parts for the CS170/240 include wire rope, hook, limit switch, brake assembly and motor/gearbox components. Our factory team provides maintenance guidance and supports OEM machines throughout their working life.

Quality Assurance and Project Handoff

GOODIDEA is a high-tech classified company in Nantong with more than 20 years of hoist and winch OEM experience. Our electric winches are CE marked and manufactured in an ISO-aligned quality system using ASME-based design and production practices. Finished winches are operationally tested before release to verify motor direction, brake response, limit switch function and rope termination.

For every order we confirm part number, voltage, rope length, branding and packing before production. The shipment includes the winch with its wire rope and control set, packed for export so the powder-coated housing arrives ready for installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the practical difference between the CS170 and CS240 versions?

Both share the same housing, drum, speed and rope. The CS170 uses a 1300 W motor and is rated at 170 kg; the CS240 uses a 1600 W motor and is rated at 240 kg. Choose the higher power version when the same winch will be used across different sites or when the load is consistently near the upper capacity.

QCan the CS170/240 be powered from a 110 V single-phase supply?

Yes. The motor system is available with 110 V or 220 V single-phase windings. The standard data sheet lists 220 V 50/60 Hz; tell us the site supply when ordering so the winch is wound and tested from the start.

QHow does the winch stop if site power fails?

The dual braking system combines a mechanical ratchet with resistive short-circuit control. If power is interrupted or the winch faults, the sintered brake applies immediately and holds the drum.

QCan this winch be used to lift people?

No. The CS170/240 is a material-handling winch for construction components, glass panels, boards and freight. It is not designed or certified for personnel lifting.

QWhat larger models are available in the same mini winch family?

Our mini electric winch range includes M, S and T models from 160 kg to 500 kg. The M160/230/300 and M280/360/500 models are direct larger-capacity extensions of the same compact concept, with additional motor power and rope capacity for heavier facade and industrial applications.
