Un cabrestante (o cabestrante) es un dispositivo mecánico, impulsado manualmente o por un motor eléctrico, destinado a levantar y desplazar grandes cargas.

A capstan is a vertical-axled rotating machine developed for use on sailing ships to apply force to ropes, cables, and hawsers. The principle is similar to that of the windlass, which has a horizontal axle
