Budget Chandelier Winch Systems
If an electric winch is not within your budget, Penny Engineering offers a range of manual chandelier winch systems to suit your needs. Reliable, compact, and above all, safe – our budget lighting winches are perfect when working within tight financial constraints.
Our Manual Chandelier Winch Range
At Penny Engineering, we specialise in designing and supplying manually operated winch systems for raising and lowering chandeliers and other luminaires. By safely bringing high-level fixtures down to ground level, a manual chandelier hoist eliminates the disruption of ladders and scaffolding, streamlining the cleaning and maintenance process.
Our manual chandelier winch systems are an affordable alternative to electric winches – operated by a hand crank. Whether you are replacing obsolete / non-compliant winches, or implementing them for the first time, our manual chandelier hoists are ideal when budgetary constraints require a more cost-effective solution.
The most economical lighting winch systems use manually operated hand cranks. However, if you require an electrically operated solution, budget electric winch systems are available and can be found on our Compact Chandelier Winch Systems page.
Key Features of a Budget Manual Chandelier Winch
Penny Engineering’s manual chandelier winch systems combine robust construction with simple and reliable operation. Key features of a manual chandelier hoist include:
- Compact design
- Tamperproof, removable winch handles
- Self-sustaining winches (secures the fixture in place when the handle is released)
- Secondary brake mechanisms (specifically designed for lifting applications)
- Secondary locking mechanism (locks the fixture in place when fully raised)
- CE-marked and fully compliant with all applicable regulations
In some cases, our manual chandelier winch systems may be designed so that no winch parts are visible when in the upper raised position, preserving the appearance of your facility. You also have the option to keep your luminaires energised during the lowering process or to isolate the feed, ensuring the lights remain off until they are fully raised.

Manual Chandelier Winch FAQs
A manual chandelier winch system is a mechanical device used to raise and lower chandeliers or other lighting fixtures for maintenance, cleaning, or enhancement. It is typically operated using a hand crank and provides a more affordable solution than an electric winch system.
If you have a chandelier or set of luminaires that are difficult to reach for maintenance or cleaning, a manual chandelier hoist provides a safe and convenient way to lower them without the need for scaffolding, ladders, or Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) like scissor lifts.
Manual chandelier winch systems are typically more compact and can be installed in tighter spaces. They are also more affordable than electric winch systems due to being operated by a hand crank.
An electric winch system would be more beneficial if the user required a full radio remote control system or integration with home automation systems, such as Crestron or Lutron.
Yes! Our manual chandelier winch systems can be used to raise and lower a wide range of assets, including lighting, decorations, artwork, or even stage props.
Consider the weight of your chandelier (or asset), the height at which it needs to be raised or lowered, and the space available for installation. It is also important to choose a winch with a suitable load rating and safety features. Speak to our team for more guidance.
