Model. NS160/230 Mini Brushless Electric Winch is a compact single-phase electric winch built for jobs where a load must be lifted at a steady speed without bringing in heavy equipment. It covers two rated loads in one platform, 160kg for the NS160 and 230kg for the NS230, and both versions share the same 220V 50/60Hz supply, 19m/min speed and 30m wire rope. Nantong Powerful Hoist Machinery Co., Ltd. supplies this winch under the Goodidea brand, whose line is "Lift safe. Lift strong.", and this article walks through what the model does, how it is built, and how buyers can choose between the two capacities.

Direct Answer: What the NS160/230 Offers

The short answer is a light, hand-positionable winch with a permanent magnet brushless maglev motor, dual braking, a limit switch and an imported wire rope. At 16kg for the NS160 and 17kg for the NS230, it is light enough to position by hand, and Nantong Powerful Hoist Machinery Co., Ltd. positions it for buyers who move equipment between jobs rather than fixing it in one place. The table below lists every specification published for the model.

Loads This Winch Is Designed to Handle

Product information from Nantong Powerful Hoist Machinery Co., Ltd. names three typical loads: structural members, curtain-wall glass and advertising boards. These are loads that are handled during storage or freight transportation, and the compact arrangement of the winch is meant to keep cost down as well. Because it runs from an ordinary single-phase supply, the same unit can be moved from one site to the next without special power provisions.

Structural Members

Beams and frame sections that need controlled lifting during storage or freight handling.

Curtain-Wall Glass

Glass panels that call for a steady lift and a brake that holds the moment power is lost.

Advertising Boards

Large, light boards that are raised into position and then held safely.

Motor and Drive: The Core of the NS160/230

The motor is a permanent magnet brushless maglev motor, and the description of industrial-grade construction explains why damage is unlikely even under repeated use. Nantong Powerful Hoist Machinery Co., Ltd. states that power output and efficiency are both high, which makes long working time practical rather than occasional. The motor is single-phase, and the buyer chooses between 110V and 220V.

200 degrees CEnameled wire rating

The enameled wire carries a rating of 200 degrees Celsius, which the manufacturer says pushes working capacity 50 percent beyond the ED series. Temperature protection and overload protection are both built in, and stepless speed regulation sits alongside them.

Control Electronics Without a Capacitor

No capacitor appears in the circuit, and an SCM regulates it. According to the product description from Nantong Powerful Hoist Machinery Co., Ltd., performance settles into something stable, the power factor runs high, and plug and pull wiring keeps operation convenient while keeping maintenance reliable. For rental yards and site crews, a plug and pull layout means fewer wiring steps each time the winch changes location.

A Layered Safety System

Safety on the NS160/230 is built from four separate features that work together. Each one covers a different failure, so a single fault does not leave the load unprotected. Nantong Powerful Hoist Machinery Co., Ltd. lists them as follows.

Dual braking. A mechanical ratchet and resistive short-circuit control work together as the braking system.
Sintered brake. Its high friction coefficient is the reason the motor stays durable.
Immediate braking on failure. A power failure or a winch failure triggers braking at once, which delivers high safety with a long service life.
Limit switch. Reaching a set lifting height, or a reversed wire rope, trips the switch. The machine is protected and work stops.

Wire Rope, Gearing and Housing

Beyond the motor and brakes, the mechanical parts of the winch are where durability is decided. The table below summarizes what the manufacturer states for each component, and Nantong Powerful Hoist Machinery Co., Ltd. presents the combination as a package that is strong, smooth and compact.

Component	What is stated
Wire rope	Imported from a top brand, with a safety factor 4 times that of ordinary machines. Specification is 5mm x 30m.
Gear reduction	High efficiency bevel drive reduction gear. Special heat treatment gives strength three times higher than ordinary products.
Housing	Motor and gearbox are held inside a one-piece aluminum alloy die-casting structure, and the toughness is strong.
Machining	Precision CNC machining keeps the winch running smooth and the noise low.
Finish	A powder coating equal to automobile grade protects a nice appearance, and the footprint is compact.

NS160 or NS230: How to Choose

The two versions share voltage, speed and wire rope, so the choice comes down to rated load, motor power and weight. The NS230 lifts 70kg more than the NS160, which is about 44 percent higher capacity, and it adds 200W of motor power and 1kg of net weight. By the numbers, the NS160 weighs 16kg against a 160kg rating, a ratio of 10 to 1, while the NS230 weighs 17kg against 230kg, roughly 13.5 to 1. Nantong Powerful Hoist Machinery Co., Ltd. offers both under one model name so buyers can match capacity to the heaviest load they expect.

NS160

Rated load 160kg
Motor 1300W
Net weight 16kg
Lightest option to position by hand

NS230

Rated load 230kg
Motor 1500W
Net weight 17kg
Higher capacity for heavier boards and panels

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the rated load of the NS160/230 winch?

The NS160 is rated at 160kg and the NS230 at 230kg.

What voltage does it run on?

The specification table lists 220V 50/60Hz for both models. The product description adds that the supply is single-phase and the buyer chooses between 110V and 220V.

How fast does the winch lift?

Both the NS160 and the NS230 run at 19m/min, and the speed can be regulated steplessly.

How long is the wire rope?

Both models carry 30m of 5mm wire rope. The rope is imported from a top brand and has a safety factor 4 times that of ordinary machines.

What happens if the power fails during a lift?

A power failure or a winch failure triggers immediate braking. The mechanical ratchet and resistive short-circuit control work together as a dual braking system.

Can the winch stop automatically at a set height?

Yes. Reaching a set lifting height, or a reversed wire rope, trips the limit switch, the machine is protected and work stops.

How heavy is the winch?

The NS160 has a net weight of 16kg and the NS230 17kg, so it is light enough to position by hand.

Does the motor use brushes or a capacitor?

The motor is a permanent magnet brushless maglev motor, and no capacitor appears in the circuit, which an SCM regulates.

Final Word

The NS160/230 combines a brushless maglev motor, dual braking, a limit switch and an imported wire rope in a package of 16kg to 17kg. Buyers who want a compact single-phase winch for structural members, curtain-wall glass or advertising boards can review the full specifications with Nantong Powerful Hoist Machinery Co., Ltd. and choose the NS160 or NS230 according to the heaviest load they plan to lift.
