Answer:
A winch is designed to pull a heavy load horizontally over a slightly inclined or level surface, and a hoist is designed to lift a load vertically over steeper inclines that are greater than 45 degrees. Both tools can make heavy lifting tasks easier.

A winch is used to drag a large load horizontally across a slightly inclined or level surface, whereas a hoist is used to lift a cargo vertically over steeper inclines of more than 45 degrees.
Both of these items can help with heavy lifting. One has one sheave wheel, while the other has two.
One does not have wind, while the other has. One has counter weight, while the other does not. The last one has a winch drum, while the other does not.
