Malacate; huinche


Explanation:
No sé dónde estás ni a quíenes se dirige la traducción, pero en México se usa mucho la palabra "malacate" (winch). En Chile es "huinche". Por si acaso va dirigida la traducción a Méx. o a Chile.

(Véase Robb, Dicc. para Ingenieros; también este servidor conoce los dos países.)

CIgüeña de torno


Explanation:
Although generally known as "güinche" in Latin America, the term is really an anglicism. More properly, it is called a "manivela", or "manubrio en forma de codo que sirve para hacer girar el eje o árbol de una máquina". Also known as an "Árgana", "Argüe", and "Molinete"
