Training in the operation of general or special-purpose hoists and winches
General-purpose and special-purpose hoists and winches are material handling equipment (UTB) used during goods handling operations. Hoists and winches are divided into general-purpose devices for transporting most goods, and special-purpose devices that are dedicated to specific types of loads.
