Cylinder winches are very, very common in fact. They have been around forever and continue to this day. Check out many makes of roll offs or industrial tilt frames used to collect cans of trash or junk. A more common place to find them is where you can't see them...on every TommyGate as well as other brands of verticle travel liftgates.
