Wesco 273513Adjustable Straddle Base Hand Winch Lifter

Wesco Adjustable Straddle Base Hand Winch Lifter – 400 lb Capacity, 8–10 ft Lift, Non-Marking Wheels | 273513

The Wesco Adjustable Straddle Base Hand Winch Lifter (273513) is a compact, high-strength manual material lift built for facilities that need tall lift capability, adjustable base width, and clean, non-marking mobility—without the cost or complexity of powered equipment.

Constructed from a combination of aluminum and steel, this unit is engineered to deliver a 400 lb lifting capacity while remaining maneuverable enough for tight aisles, maintenance shops, and loading areas. With an overall size of 29" wide x 68" high x 43" long, it’s shorter than many full-height lifts, making it easier to store and navigate through doorways and confined spaces.

This model provides a maximum lift range of 99" to 120.5" and a lowered height range of 2" to 25", so you can pick loads close to floor level and raise them to working height, shelving, trucks, or low mezzanines. The 4" x 22.5" x 1.75" forks are sized for cartons, equipment, and smaller skids, and the design allows the forks to be inverted, giving you two different lift height configurations without changing equipment.

The adjustable straddle legs are a major advantage in real-world use. With 21.5" to 36" inside width and 29" to 44" outside width, you can straddle pallets, machinery bases, or odd-shaped loads, or tighten the stance for narrow pathways. The hand winch crank handle locks to secure the carriage at the desired height, helping protect both the operator and the load during work.

For transport and handling, top-of-frame rollers make it easier to lay the truck horizontally, so you can slide it into a van, pickup, or storage rack. Non-marking 8" rear wheels and 2" front swivel casters protect floors and keep the unit easy to maneuver in finished areas.

If you need a shorter mast profile with solid capacity and real adjustability, the 273513 is a practical, work-ready material lift.
