Winch assembly for a support structure
A drivable winch assembly 14 for attachment to a support structure, such as a scaffold, is described. The drivable winch assembly is configured to convey a load substantially vertically along the support structure, and comprises: a gearbox 70; and a load-bearing elongate flexible attachment member operatively coupled to the gearbox which is configured in use to couple to the load at a free end of the elongate flexible attachment member. In use, an input drive shaft 100 of the gearbox is configured to: receive an input torque from a removable external driver via a drivable slip coupling 74; to rotate when the input torque lies within a predetermined operational range; and to not rotate when the input torque lies outside the predetermined operational range. Also claimed is a modular guiding profile for use with a winch for lifting a load via a number of connected modular rails. Also claimed is a modular shuttle system with the guiding profile and winch.
