Yep, looks very similar to the Allen one I got from Guncity a few years ago, except mine has 4 pulleys (2 doubles) not 6 like the one in your link.
Mate got a very good one from Alibaba, will check and report back
Can find them on trade me also
had one very identical to this and it was rubbish. rope to small to pull up a decent animalQuote:

For my setup at home, I bought a handwinch with a strap that I attach to the end of the hoist rope for winding up and down with more ease and control.

Not mine

Gun city had some with the auto lock so you didn't need to tie off were about 150. Shoof do one as well with auto lock think they were around 200
I would be a bit nervous using the autolock, and would still tie off the rope as a backup - I saw some horrible injuries at the meatworks caused by carcasses moving when they weren't expected to.
@Jhon had one like that years ago same as couple links above i found them to be pretty average and the rope diameter is to small. ok for one or two animals a year.
@country cuts we brought a Shoof 4:1 one from farmlands i think they are closer to $300 still not as good as the one in the link i put up. Also had to replace the rope not long after purchase. Even pulling up big 100kg rams can be hard work with when you are doing a dozen at a time
I have had a email back from Reloaders to say they were importing them directly from USA which they are no longer doing:(
If you are lifting that sort of weight a hand winch might be better. You can get ones with a brake in them and winch up and down so your not trying to hold the weight while flicking the tab over on a boat type winchQuote:

A lot easier to pull up a heavy carcass, and I don't have to try and tie the rope off around a tree while holding the weight. And I can easily adjust the height to suit during skinning and gutting, and when breaking down.
I used to tie the rope to the front nudge bar on the ride-on mower and back up to raise the carcass, then park it up overnight.
I've got one of those plus another more basic one from the US. The TM one works fine. I have two heavy eyes screwed into reinforced trusses in my workshop so don't have to suffer flies while processing.Quote:

Thanks. Wicked setup.
Anyone tried one of these?
Might be the go for portable jobs.
Just runs of a cordless drill.
