Wurtec’s fully self-contained high-speed capstan hoist is what every high- and higher-rise job needs to hoist and install rails faster and more efficiently. Compared to standard capstan hoists, this unit is up to 5 times faster. Wurtec recommends using this tool with a block and tackle (Snatch Block) picked from the Wurtec 3-Beam System (#11-223 or #11-224) to approximately double installation efficiency using both ends of the synthetic hoisting rope - running one end of rope down (for another rail) while the other end is coming up. Included with every order of the high-speed capstan is a wheel kit (#11-282) for easy transport.
