The HodChutes 230 Motorized Electric Winch is our entry-level, industrial-grade electric winch — built for frequent installation and dismantling of debris chute systems. High-performance plated steel design at our most affordable winch price.
The HodChutes 230 Motorized Electric Winch delivers dependable powered lifting at the lowest entry price in our winch lineup. Designed for the frequent raising and dismantling of debris chute systems, its industrial-grade plated steel build stands up to repeated jobsite use on construction and renovation projects.
Why Choose the 230 Motorized Electric Winch?
The 230 is the most cost-effective electric winch we offer — ideal for contractors who need reliable motorized lifting for everyday jobs without paying for higher capacity they don’t need. Its motorized operation takes the strain out of hoisting chute sections, and at 507 lb capacity with a 95 ft cable, it’s well suited to lighter loads and shorter runs.
How the 230 Motorized Electric Winch Works
The 230 mounts to your chute system or support structure and uses its motorized drive to raise and lower debris chute sections during setup and teardown. Instead of hauling sections by hand, the operator controls the powered winch to hoist each piece into place — speeding up installation, reducing physical strain, and improving safety on multi-story jobs. Once the job is done, the same winch makes dismantling just as quick.
Ideal Uses
Installing and dismantling debris chute systems
Routine construction and renovation lifting
Lighter loads up to 507 lb
Jobs where an affordable, dependable powered winch is the right fit
230 vs. 260 vs. 340: Which Winch Is Right?
Choose the 230 Motorized when you need dependable powered lifting at the lowest cost for lighter loads and shorter runs. If you need a more compact unit with slightly more capacity, the 260 Brushless (573 lb) is the step up. For the heaviest loads and tallest buildings, the 340 Brushless (750 lb, 197 ft cable) gives you maximum capacity and reach. All three share the same reliable HodChutes build — the right choice comes down to load weight and lifting height.
