Electric Winch GEKO vx2170 — lifting capacity 300/600 kg, compact electric hoist

Electric winch GEKO vx2170 — compact electric hoist with dual lifting capacity of 300 kg (single line) and 600 kg (double line). Designed for controlled pulling and lifting in workshops, garages, construction sites and vehicle recovery operations, this cable-driven winch delivers repeatable winding performance in a compact housing. The unit is intended for intermittent operation where precise line control and straightforward mounting are required.

Advantages

The GEKO vx2170 offers a compact footprint and a simple mechanical design that enables easy installation on overhead beams, frames or service vehicles. Its cable-driven operation provides reliable load control and smooth retraction, while dual-capacity capability allows selection of higher pull force when using a rigging arrangement. The hoist’s construction minimizes maintenance needs and supports consistent performance for repetitive lifting and towing tasks.

Suitable for

• Light vehicle recovery and winching of small cars or motorcycles
• Workshop and garage lifting or pulling tasks
• Material handling of moderate loads in construction and renovation
• Mounting on service trailers or small cranes for equipment positioning
• Repetitive short-stroke lifting where compact size is required

Key specifications

• Lifting capacity: selectable 300 kg single-line, 600 kg double-line
• Compact mechanical housing suitable for constrained mounting locations
• Designed for intermittent duty cycles typical of workshop and recovery use
• Suitable for lifting, pulling and towing applications with moderate load demands

How to use

Mount the GEKO vx2170 securely to a suitable support structure capable of carrying the intended loads, following manufacturer mounting points and local safety regulations. Arrange the cable and rigging so that single-line operation provides 300 kg capacity and a doubled reeved line provides 600 kg capacity, ensuring the load is balanced and the route is clear. Operate the hoist using the provided controls, monitoring cable spooling to prevent overlap and ensuring the load travels smoothly. Stop operation immediately if abnormal noise, overheating or irregular cable winding is observed, then inspect before further use.

Usage recommendations

For safe and reliable operation, use appropriate slings and shackles rated above the intended load, inspect the cable and mounting hardware before each use, and observe duty cycle limits. Avoid continuous heavy-duty operation and protect the unit from prolonged exposure to moisture and corrosive environments. When higher lift heights or continuous operation are required, consider a purpose-built hoist with corresponding duty rating.
