Hand Winch for Kitchen Maid® Clothes Airer
Hand Winch for Kitchen Maid® Clothes Airer
The Clothes Airer Hand Winch is exclusive to Cast in Style. Cast from solid cast iron, we have brought this original "Lawson" winch back to life from the original design made 120 years ago. The hand winch makes easy, light work of raising and lowering any of our Kitchen Maid® Clothes Airers. It simply bolts to your wall and directly replaces the cleat you would normally use. The winch is designed to automatically lock and hold the airer in place so all you need to do is turn the handle to raise and lower your airer and the winch will hold it in any position you wind it to.
We have made it in an original "rustic" style and it encompasses a sold cast iron gear system with a mahogany back board. Comes complete with wall screws, rawl plugs and fitting instructions.
Due to the traditional mechanical nature of the gear system, the winch will naturally make a gentle gear mechanism sound when you turn it. This is completely normal and expected.
Please Note: When positioning your winch it MUST be in line with the ropes so that the rope stays in a straight line. For this reason we recommend you use an extra double pulley to guide the rope right to the corner of the ceiling so it can drop directly down to the winch. Please see below:
