Hoist
A hoist is a large piece of dungeon equipment designed to lift the captive, either during suspension bondage or to stretch them in a similar manner to a rack. A hoist can be built as part of a bondage frame or as a piece of furniture in its own right. A hoist consists of a base, wide enough to be stable, and an upright support about 2.5m high with a cross beam to which a pully is fixed. A winch (either electrical or mechanical) is mounted on the upright and provides the mechanism for raising the captive via a cable and pulley.
It is possible to use a hoist in a number of different ways. The simplest is to connect the captive's wrists to the end of the cable. It is also possible to use a strap cage; this is similar to a sting bag and uses the captive's weight to cocoon them and prevent escape.
