Winch (1) comprising a drum (2), a cable (6) which can be wound around the drum (2), means (7) for fastening the load (20) to the cable (6), a motor (3) with a motor shaft (4), a control (17) for the motor (3) that drives the motor shaft (4) to rotate in two opposite directions, and mechanical transmission means (5) for transmitting the rotational movement of the motor shaft (4) to the drum (2), said means (5) being configured so as to allow, in the state in which the motor shaft (4) is driven to rotate in a first direction D1, the transmission of the rotational movement of the motor shaft (4) to the drum (2) in the direction of winding the cable (6) around the drum (2). In the state in which the motor shaft (4) is driven to rotate in the second direction D2, the mechanical movement transmission means (5) are configured so as to not allow the transmission of the rotational movement of the motor shaft (4) to the drum (2), and at least part of these mechanical means (5) is configured to form, in this second operating mode, a brake preventing the drum (2) from being driven to rotate.

A power transmission system that is adapted to transmit forces from a motor to a component comprises an externally threaded shaft 551 that is rotatably attached to the motor, an internally threaded fastener that is movably attached to the externally threaded shaft, a first element, and a second element that is movably attached to the first element at a second joint and that is rigidly attached to the component at a third joint.

Simultaneously oppositely rotating sheaves, or a chain fall, has a two sheaves upon a hexagonal axle. The first sheave receives a first line clockwise and the second sheave receives a second line counterclockwise. Upon turning the axle, the sheaves handle the lines oppositely. A signal unit regulates power delivered from a power unit to at least one motor. The power unit is preferably a battery or alternatively another source. The motor turns a gearbox that engages the axle cooperating with the sheaves. The chain fall includes an anti-two block per line. Preferably, a pulley has two outer plates and two inner plates on stubs with the first line in the center and the two second lines between an inner plate and an outer plate. A first plate and a spaced away second plate contain the components of the invention in compact form for usage by a crane.
