String Reel / Winch

Enhance your builds with LEGO string reel and winch parts. These specialized LEGO® components let you lift, pull, and lower with real mechanical motion. Perfect for cranes, construction vehicles, rescue missions, and drawbridges, they bring hands-on interactivity to both play and display.

LEGO string reels feature rotating spools that hold LEGO rope or string. Many include manual cranks or gear connectors for easy operation. Winch parts often come with locking functions to prevent accidental unwinding, giving you better control during use.

You can mount these parts onto Technic frames, beams, or plates. Whether you’re designing a working hoist, an elevator, or a zipline, these elements integrate smoothly with both System and Technic builds. In addition, many are compact and versatile, making them easy to include even in tight spaces.

Children love using winches for active play, while adult builders value their engineering potential in detailed MOCs. These parts help replicate real-world machinery, adding realism and motion to your models. For example, use a winch to swing a wrecking ball, haul cargo, or raise a vehicle ramp.

Moreover, string reel and winch parts encourage problem-solving and mechanical thinking. Builders can explore tension, gear ratios, and load limits through play. With the right setup, you can create functional, reliable lifting systems that elevate your entire build—literally and creatively.

Add motion and precision to your models with LEGO string reel and winch parts. They’re the perfect tools for builders who want to move beyond static scenes.
