Perfect for shop or garage use, this 120 volt winch pulls loads up to 1500 lb. Ideal for pulling disabled vehicles onto a lift or frame straightener. The tethered remote control gives you better freedom of movement and lets you view the load from different angles as you work. Comes with a 35 ft. long heavy duty aircraft steel cable assembly with drop-forged sling hook.

Like Arvid, I don't believe I've ever seen a winch that was rated for vertical use.
