The question should be what is the difference between a winch and a hoist. In this case they are both powered by compressed air. Both winches and hoists are available which can be powered by air, electricity, hydraulics, or manual power (other means of powering this equipment is also available).
A hoist is made for lifting. A winch is made for dragging/pulling.
A hoist is designed with a special safety factor, limit switches and redundant braking for overhead lifting. Winches are designed to a completely different criteria. Keep in mind that several companies have manufactured "hybrid" winches which are made to lift. They are basically dual purpose pieces of equipment (hoist/winch).

What creates the air pressure difference between the equator and the poles?
The air pressure difference between the equator and the poles is primarily caused by the temperature difference. Warm air at the equator rises, creating a low-pressure area, while cold air at the poles sinks, creating a high-pressure area. This temperature difference drives atmospheric circulation, resulting in the pressure gradient between the two regions.
What is difference between dry air and atmospheric air?
Dry air refers to air with very low moisture content, often in indoor environments where humidity is controlled. Atmospheric air, on the other hand, is the mixture of gases surrounding the Earth, which includes water vapor, nitrogen, oxygen, and other trace gases. Atmospheric air has varying moisture content depending on factors like humidity and location.
During the afternoon the greatest temperature difference between the surface air and the air several meters above occurs on a?
clear calm afternoon
What is the difference in density between warm and cold air?
Warm air is less dense than cold air because the molecules in warm air have more energy and are more spread out, resulting in lower density. Cold air is denser because the molecules are closer together and moving slower.
Air moves from a point at which air pressure is to a point at which air pressure is?
higher. This movement of air is driven by the pressure difference between the two points. The air flows from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure in an attempt to equalize the pressure.
What do you mean by air hoisters?
The correct term for an air hoister is just air hoist. An air hoist is a pneumatic hoist, which means it is operated by pressurized air or gas.
Do UK air ambulance helicopters have a winch?
No, not normally. If a winch is required then the search and rescue service from the RAF are called in.
If oil is replaced by air in a hydraulic system would the hoist still operate?
Practically it won't, be the air will get compressed, and then the hoist will not work. Read Pascal's principle to check if my answer if correct.

What is difference between air soft and soft-air?
Soft-air is a rip off of Air-soft
What is the difference in weight between propane and air?
The difference in weight between propane and air is due to their different densities. Propane is heavier than air, so it will sink and accumulate at lower levels.
What is difference between and airmail and a regular?
Airmail is in the air
What will cause the crane on a m1089 wrecker to hoist up but not down?
If the crane on a M1089 wrecker can hoist up but not lower, it may indicate a malfunction in the hydraulic system, such as a faulty control valve or a hydraulic fluid leak. Additionally, the presence of air in the hydraulic lines can cause inconsistent operation. Another possibility is a mechanical blockage or a failure in the winch or cable assembly preventing it from lowering. Inspecting the hydraulic system and components for damage or wear would be essential for troubleshooting the issue.
